2. Famous for her role in "Shakespeare In Love" which actress has a cook book entitled "My Father's Daughter"?

Answer: Gwyneth Paltrow

With around 150 recipes this 2011 offering in the celebrity cook book stakes concentrates on foods with clean flavours as well as vegetarian and vegan options. Gwyneth Paltrow has also used this book to pay tribute to her late father, who was apparently a very keen cook. The full title is "My Father's Daughter: Delicious Easy Recipes Celebrating Family and Togetherness".

4. Which former heavyweight boxer first introduced his own low fat grill and then followed it up with a low fat cook book?

Answer: George Foreman

Appropriately called "Knock Out The Fat", this book is for those who like to grill or barbecue their food - preferably on Mr. Foreman's own low fat grill.

As a two time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist he, however, knows about good nutrition and these recipes are all designed to allow one to eat well without putting on weight.
5. Which former model, granddaughter of a famous writer, has published a seasonal cook book?

Answer: Sophie Dahl

Sophie Dahl's "From Season to Season" was published in 2011. She has also written "Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights", which is also a seasonal cook book.
She has also presented a six party cookery programme on BBC television, and wrote and presented a programme about legendary cook Mrs. Beeton. Her grandfather was author Roald Dahl.
6. This lady offers not only diet advice for hips and thighs, but also aerobic workouts. Who is she?

Answer: Rosemary Conley

Rosemary Conley shot to fame with her 1988 book "The Hip and Thigh Diet". She was however involved in the fitness and slimming industry well before that, founding her first clubs in 1972. She has gone on to write several low fat cook books as well as issuing exercise videos. Her franchise, "Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Club" is one of the major weight loss businesses.
7. Which country music star, who also hosts a show on Food Network, has written a cook book of Southern food?

Answer: Trisha Yearwood

Called "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen" this book has 120 recipes from her family. It is classic Southern comfort food.

8. Which poet, who recited the poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at President Clinton's inauguration, has also written cook books?

Answer: Maya Angelou

Her recipes include cream and cheese and are essentially foods that she has enjoyed cooking and eating throughout her life.
