Were you ever really famous if you don’t have a cookbook with your name on it? Some celebs like to just slap their name on stuff after they’ve moved out of the spotlight and some like to bestow their lifestyles on all of us. Whether or not they’re doable or desirable is up to us.

The truth is: celebrities are people too, they gotta eat—it just so happens some of them really like to cook!

Take a look and tell us what you think!

Gwyneth Paltrow

Everyone loves to hate Gwyneth Paltrow, and her cookbooks provide a perfect platform for doing just that. Her most recently launched cookbook happens to be her third—it’s called “It’s All Easy,” but there have been a ton of reviews that state otherwise. Gwyneth described it as a “self-help book for the chronically busy cook.” She tells people how to make the priciest smoothies out there, with $200 of ingredient options and three versions of avocado toast.

Chrissy Teigen

A model with a cookbook? That doesn’t sound right, but it is. Chrissy Teigen’s new cookbook “Cravings: For All the Food You Want to Eat is all the rage.” As a culinary-school-trained cook, she wanted people to share recipes her family loves in her home. “Look, I don’t want to be one of those dead-inside laughing-with-a-salad chicks, and I don’t want to seem like one of those annoying ‘I can eat anything I want anytime’ chicks,” she says in the introduction–so if you’re looking to cook with the soup master this is the book for you!

Tom Brady

Tom Brady’s “TB12 Nutrition Manual” is only good if you’re Tom Brady, himself. We all know Tom and Gisele are freaks (in the nicest way possible) when it comes to their strict diet, but Brady’s $200 documentation of his nutritional needs still sold out faster than you can say deflate gate. Critics noted that it was difficult to use, vague in instruction and a death trap for people with nut allergies. It’s safe to say the QB made this play on his own.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

In 2009 Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced “The G-Free Diet: A Gluten Survival Guide.” In the book, Hasselbeck tells her personal experience with celiac disease and informs readers on how they can start living a gluten-free life. These days everyone and their mother is gluten free, so why not learn survival skills from Hasselbeck herself?

Freddie Prinze Jr

Freddie Prinze Jr’s “Back to the Kitchen” made its debut earlier this month, and is full of 75 recipes that pay tribute to his Puerto Rican heritage, New Mexican roots and acting experiences. The actor dropped culinary school for his acting career, but his travels have inspired the recipes offered. His cookbook offers maybe two comfort foods and the rest is healthy. He might not be on the big screen anymore but he’s a star in the kitchen.

Stanley Tucci

Stanley Tucci is a cook on and off set. His latest contribution to the kitchen is “The Tucci Cookbook.” His masterpiece includes recipes that have been passed down from two generations of Tucci’s. His acting career, specifically his involvement with “Big Night” had in fact inspired a previous and shorter version of “The Tucci Cookbook,” it was called “Cucina and Famiglia.” For Stanley Tucci, food is life.

Sheryl Crow

“If It Makes You Healthy: More than 100 Delicious Recipes Inspired by the Seasons” is a collection of more than 100 recipes written by Sheryl Crow and Chuck White. The book is veggie/grain heavy and there is a huge emphasis on buying humanely raised meats and seafood. Crow started this venture after her battle with breast cancer, when she decided to change her eating habits to conform to her new healthy life.

Alicia Silverstone

One word: vegan. “The Kind Diet,” written by Alicia Silverstone is directed at helping those looking for a lifestyle change, to ease into all things vegan. She explains—like a true vegan would that the foods we’ve been taught to regard as the cornerstone of good nutrition—are actually the culprits behind escalating rates of disease and the cause of dire, potentially permanent damage to our ecology.

Eva Longoria

“Eva’s Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends,” features food inspired by Eva Longoria’s upbringing and her heritage. In the cookbook, Eva highlights the essentials of great Mexican cooking, Texas style—with her family’s recipes and craft for making the world’s best tamales.

Trisha Yearwood

Country music star, Trisha Yearwood not only has her own show on Food Network called Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, but is a bestselling cookbook author. Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood: Stories and Recipes to Share with Family and Friends offers Trisha’s southern charm along with a collection of recipes from a lifetime of potlucks and family gatherings.
