Just a snippet…Jessica Seinfeld was a player in veggie-gate and sued for plagiarism in respect of her book.

Batterly – You’re right about there being few contestants who don’t sneer at the idea of sweet things. Hopefully, the publishers would be savvy enough to tailor the final product enough to reflect the prejudices the audience knows. Okay, they probably wouldn’t be brave enough to go all Adrian Richardson on us and have no desserts at all (strangely, though, he doesn’t use Vegeta in any of his recipes!), but they should mirror the winner’s tastes.

Raver – That’s amazing that I mentioned the Roald Dahl and you have a connection there! I loved his books, too, and do take the cook book down every so often to read.

Liking the sounds of Chris’ beer bistro and would probably be heading out to check a plate or two from that restaurant if he opens it.

Would be interesting to see how many dessert recipes end up in the book given the majority of contestants’ disdain for the pastry and cake recipes.

Thank Injera for injecting some intellectual rigour on this site. Great blog post. I think the cookbook will be a bit like the Australian Idol winner’s release. A lot of ghost writing with some small individual touches/recipes from the winner.(Tips the hat to Batterly – this is copy of the comment I just wrote on http://www.injera.wordpress.com) It will probably include some the recipes they cooked on the show. But then again you can get a lot on the website. I agree it is not a cook book I would spend $50 on.

I would go to some of their restaurants or cafes.

Two people who should be thinking about releasing cookbooks on the back of the show are Gary Mehigan and George Calombaris considering all screen time they are getting, now that I may buy.

Speaking of the Roald Dahl cookbook Vol 1. I “nannied”- for the editor for a few weeks while she was editing the book, and I got to go to Roald Dahl’s house which was like a museum in his memory. It is a memory I have longed treasure considering he is one of my favourite authors both as a child and as an adult.

Or it could be just like the Idol release albums. Written all by other people and in this case, with photos of the finished dishes being held up by the winner of MasterChef Australia.
