In the Kitchen with Gwyneth Paltrow

Aired on: August 8, 2011, April 20, 2011

Gwyneth Paltrow is an Academy Award®-winning actress, busy mom, and now, a cookbook author! She explains the inspiration behind her book of recipes, My Father's Daughter. "It's so important to make food for your family and the people you love and just to have that time together," Gwyneth says. "That's something that my dad really taught me, which was the impetus for the book. He was such an amazing father and when we gathered around the dinner table it was the high point of the day. Anybody can have this, doesn't matter if you're having a hard time or you're not where you want to be money-wise, success-wise ... if you love someone and you're having a nice glass of wine, some homemade food, your kids are telling fart jokes or whatever, that's the best thing in life."

Rachael asks Gwyneth how she decided which of her recipes she would include in the book. "That's it, baby - that's my whole repertoire," Gwyneth laughs. "It'll be 20 years before I do another one of those!" Try Gwyneth's recipe for Fried Zucchini Spaghetti.
