The fastest mover this week, also coming in at number three in the bestsellers, is Jessica Seinfeld's cookbook Deceptively Delicious (yes she's married to comedian Jerry). Seinfeld's book caused quite a stir (no pun intended) when released in the US, as some of the recipes were alleged to be very similar to those in another book by one Missy Chase Lapine. Lapine's book Sneaky Chef has some quirky meals in it --avocado in chocolate pudding for one, spinach in brownies for another--and she howled plagiarism. Perhaps a cook-off is in order to resolve the argument?
