I wish she would just go away!
I thought she was vegetarian??
I also thought she was a vegetarian…?
Neve Campbell looks great.
she needs to know her 15 minutes are up.
what a blatant know it all.
she must be such a bore in person.
Sorry, but as much as I wanted to hate that, I couldn’t. Good, simple recipe and she’s got a good attitude.
I quite enjoyed it, actually.. I don’t get the Gwyneth hatred anyway.
this is so random…does she have a cooking show now? i love the beginning where she says she was staying with her dad in LA and they were getting tired of eating “the frozen meatballs that were left in the freezer for us…” you mean by a cook, gwynnie? yeah, – i HATE it when someone cooks for me and leaves it in the freezer.

Poor Gwym, can’t do anything right. That chicken is not a fast meal. If you want fast, make cutlets. Also, she didn’t stress washing your hands a/touching raw chicken. She goes right on to make a salad with germs on her Kaballah string. You don’t peel fingerling potatoes either. At least she almost has her chopping method down after she cut herself on Oprah but you are supposed to keep your fingers curled on the hand that is holding the shallot. Aragula should never be cut with a knife but torn with hands. Never, ever wipe your mouth with a dish towel. There are so many things wrong with this video and her flat, stiff voice makes it worse. The chicken leg has a whole in it where she screwed up. Horrible. The worst part is mentioning the one semester she spent at that college and then dropped out. Martha Stewart must be laughing her ass off!
Did you really think that was a haughty cooking demonstration? I thought it was rather endearing. Personally I thought she looked very cute, and came across much better in person than she does in her writings!
But I understand a lot of people don’t want to give her a chance. She’s an easy target. But I think this video is actually a more effective way to show off her Goop! I liked it much better than Rachael Ray haha, and her kitchen is gorgeous.
She’s never been a veggie – but she has generally followed a form of macrobiotic diet. Yawn.
I thought it was grand. there are far worse than her doing cooking programmes and slots on morning& afternoon telly. I could do without the “Yuh-MEEEE” and “gorge” nonsense though. And her idea of fast food is basically cadged from Nigella Lawson (this is very similar to one of her quick dinners – cut up the chicken and fuck everything into the roasting tin – onion skins and all.
But was it just me or was she peeling baby/salad potatoes at the beginning. Why peel such small potatoes with a thin skin unless you’re mashing them? Madness. And watching her wrestle with the peeler was painful.
Those things aside I didn’t mind it. Damn GLOOP for making me tolerate Gwyneth Paltrow in even the smallest way!
Way to link a day old Megan Fox that’s already been denied by her rep. Good work!
That was a very monotonous delivery. Even while she was mmming, yumming and licking her fingers, she looked bored as hell.
Ellen Pompeo and Nicole Richie have another thing in common, they can both give birth to children weighing more than themselves.
She just rubs me the wrong way: all the time, in any venture.
I bet she went to the back and puked up those 2 bites of food!!
I don’t know why people hate on GP. She just seems to be a reserved person – maybe it is her upbringing. Some people are just raised to be polite. I don’t find her bland and boring at all – but rather classy and understated. Everyone is different – why not embrace cultural diversity? The red string is a Kaballah bracelet – would you mock someone for wearing a cross on their neck while cooking?
she doesn’t seem too haughty to me… i like the way she says “oh! i lost a tater!” kinda cute, actually. i’ve heard so much about what a pill this woman is, but i like her in this video.
Well Plebians, make sure you use only ‘limones’ and not your run-of-the-mill lemons. Also, how dare you cook with ordinary herbs and spices! They had better be adjective-laden beauties & lovelies or you’ll be eating peasant food. I love how she speaks to the masses who can run to their local Dean & DeLuca and grab sal de mer! Don’t tell me she doesn’t have a personal chef! I’m ashamed of myself for wasting 5 precious min. of my day on this slattern…
“(this is very similar to one of her quick dinners – cut up the chicken and fuck everything into the roasting tin – onion skins and all.”
Maired, this is an interesting version of baked chicken. I’ll have to try it sometime… : )
Its like your hatred is skewing your own perspective of a plain video of somebody doing something so simple as peeling a potato. its some horrible terrible thing… Cripes…
Maybe jealousy? Inferiority? I mean she is going out of her way to relate and make light of thngs, to NOT be ‘snobby’. And thats all you guys can make of it– its all in your own heads then, obviously.
And like, cooking a chicken is too much- too up there. but if she makes a mistake with it, then shes too lowly. Cant win. Ya wont let her. For some reason, you dont want her to…
IMO.
Beauteous arugola, lovely sage, gorgeous carrots? You ain’t foolin’ nobody, Gwynnie. What happened to her macrobiotic craze? I’m sure chicken doesn’t fit in there (although I’m glad she gave that s**t up). She is such a hypocrite. Champagne vinegar and trying to be like us? Puhleeze.
I just hate how she has to show us the way and at the same time, pretend she’s all breezy and easy-going. Such a pretentious arse. Seriously.
TeeHee, people are annoyed because she is trying to be Martha Stewart without doing any of the work. People are ‘hating’ because she’s a fraud. She doesn’t know how to cook & she makes so many mistakes (like not stressing washing your hands and workspace after handling raw chicken)that is annoying and an insult to those who do know what they are doing. It’s because she didn’t do the work, the research to put together a good video and because of her HW connections, there she is treading on the turf of Martha & Paula Deen while dryly whining through the whole presentation without much personality. She’ll pull this video when she realizes just like she’s pulled a lot of Goop newsletters. She needs to hire someone who knows what they’re doing but she’s too arrogant to do it.
In this case, I don’t get the bashing. At least she cooks for her family and she’s not like some of the prima donnas who act like menial chores are far, far below them. It’s actually a decent recipe and not too different from how I make mine. Where I do find fault, however, is in the filming of the episode. The camera man/woman is everywhere except where he/she needs to be at any given moment. Find a new camera person Gwennie!!
@Blue Skies – Christ, she’s just a human! And cooking shows rarely show the whole ‘washing hands’ bit – it’s assumed that they’ve already done it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Ina Garten stick her hands in her bowls of salt and pepper after touching raw meat.
I didn’t think this was too bad. It was a nice video. I was surprised that she actually used hearty food – rather than all of this macrobiotic nonsense.
You can’t really call her out for doing anything wrong; this is more or less like a Food Network show.
I hate to say it, but Goopy has my approval for the hour.
aaaarg, and there is nobody to comment about jordan – Katie Priceless ???
She got implanted with both saucepan boobs and catterpillar eye brows.
After the snotty part at the beginning about why she was in LA, Gwynnie eased up and relaxed and was actually somewhat endearing in this clip. Much more endearing, that is, when you see her laughing and having lettuce fall out of her mouth than when you are listening to her voice in print.
I hate the way she says “Ingonna” for “I’m gonna” or “I’m going to.”
I have to admit, I liked the “tater” part, but she had to go ruin it with “gorge”.
The meal looked like a good family meal, but it’s not a quickie. It takes time to debone, wash and chop that shit up.
I loved the series she did with Mario Batalli. It makes sense that she would incorporate cooking in her on-line newsletter.
I bet she debones a bit more than just chicken … 😉
I actually liked the video, and I’m not a foodie.
Gwyneth seems much more down to earth and the recipe was simple.
She was actually pretty cool.
I don’t get all the hate for this video. I’m not a Gwyneth lover in any way, but she didn’t feel snotty or pretentious to me. Granted the recipe is not “fast food” but it’s a simple recipe with very little prepping . Which makes it interesting if not very original. And Champagne vinegar sounds fancy but it’s about $5-$10 for a bottle.
If the truth is too much for some of you to handle, what part of CeleBitchy don’t you understand??? Go back to your powder puff celebrity sites and believe all the nice things they say about Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise and all your other ‘heroes’ who can do no wrong!
Haha Wow MizzExpert, I think you need to chill. Just because people don’t find this video annoying doesn’t mean they’re deluded celebrity worshipping twits. And these are just opinions not “truths”, no matter how hard you might believe in them.
I am very, very sorry, but i liked GP in this video. I dont see a reason for bashing her today. Just for today she is free. LOL
I liked the video and I enjoyed her presentation. I don’t get the people knocking her for not being professional enough. She’s not a professional! If you don’t want to watch it, don’t. Why the hate?
It did bother me that she didn’t change chopping boards and wash the knife after handling the chicken, but that could well have been edited out. And how much would everyone hate her if she started lecturing us about avoiding food poisoning?
LOL @ Mairead – ‘fuck everything into the roasting tin’ – you knows it…Nigella has taught us all well!
Remember all – when you fuck everything into the roasting tin you should slather it all in olive oil.
Waaaaait a second, how are you supposed to crisp up a chicken with skin if you put tin foil on top of it? Alas! By some miracle, when she pulls the chicken out, the foil magically disappears and a beautiful perfectly crisped chicken appears. Really?
Is deboning a chicken and stuffing it with fresh expensive herbs “fast food”? Moms with 9-5’s don’t have the time or usually the money to go to the farmer’s market and buy this stuff and do all this! Why not just buy the chicken quartered and deboned, like everyone else?
I know all the snobbier foodies cream over fresh herbs, but come on! Dried spices do the trick just as well, and if I was her, I’d have applied it directly to the skin, but that’s just me.
Then again, I also know how to wash my hands after touching raw meat and I know better than to use the same cutting board for raw meat and raw vegetables! Oh my god, I cringed when I saw that!
In all fairness though, I have a sneaking suspicion that she can’t really be that stupid, and if she is, this video is very obviously edited for time and content, and most likely just cut out the boring part of watching someone clean her hands and equipment.
I’m not necessarily jazzed or inspired by the ingenuity of the meal (aside from the maple syrup, ick! I’m not sure on that one!), but she was actually fun to watch and seemed completely sincere, which I really liked. The salad wasn’t quite my style, but a good idea. At very least, I applaud the effort and exuberance she displayed. Who knows, maybe she’ll teach us a thing or two next week!
I’ve been looking all above for this post. Luckily I just noticed this at Yahoo.
