- In "My Father's Daughter" - the latest cookbook that Anna and Kristina are testing - the father and daughter in question are Bruce Paltrow and Gwyneth Paltrow. The cookbook reflects both Gwyneth's overall approach to food, which is in general a healthy and fresh approach (often using healthier substitutes for standard ingredients, those substitutes which include barley flour, vegenaise and brown rice syrup), and her fond remembrances of the social nature of cooking with her family while she was growing up, especially cooking with her late father, who taught her that such cooking is an expression of love. Beyond being envious of Gwyneth's overall life - which includes being an Oscar winning actress, being a singer, growing up in a Hollywood royalty family and being married to a rock star - Anna and Kristina admire the overall message of the book, but will they like the recipes? They are preparing six dishes in three hours: cold pea and basil soup, hot Nicoise salad, duck ragu, Vietnamese prawn sandwiches with homemade sriracha sauce, Lalo's famous cookies (Lalo being Gwyneth's mom, actress Blythe Danner), and homemade hot fudge. Their guest taster is Brian Malarkey, the executive chef at San Diego's Searsucker Restaurant. He is probably most famous as being a contestant on Top Chef (2006). Chef Brian, who specializes in American cuisine and seafood, will enjoy his time being the judge instead of being judged. In addition, Anna and Kristina taste test vegenaise against three more standard varieties of mayonnaise. And they test different styles of corkscrews.
