'Sordid attempt to stay relevant': Kate Gosselin is slammed by online reviewers over new cookbook Love Is In The Mix
|
Kate Gosselin may cook meals approved by her eight children, but the reality star's new cookbook has been getting panned by online reviewers.
The 38-year-old former star of Jon & Kate Plus 8 released her new cookbook Love Is In The Mix in September and the reviews on book seller Amazon.com have been mixed to say the least.
'This "cookbook" seems to be rehashed internet recipes along with rehashed old photos of her kids. It is a sordid attempt to stay relevant in the public eye and clearly a last-gasp attempt to cash in on the Gosselin name,' wrote reviewer Paige.

Other online critics also felt the recipes were not so original.
'What a terrible waste of time and money. Recipes seem to be recycled from the back of soup cans and internet recipe sites,' said reviewer Jason28.
Some reviewers also found the measurements included in the recipes too vague.

'The measurements are insane. 2 or 3 cloves of garlic? 2 or 3 cups of rice? What is it? 2 or 3??? I'm also a little disappointed in all the family photos. If I wanted a family album I wouldn't have bought this book,' wrote Amazon Lover.
'I’m not sure why this was even published, don’t waste your money,' wrote Brenda.
After a steady flow of critical reviews following the book's publication on Sept. 24, there have been some extremely positive reviews in recent days.

'Would definitely recommend it!!!! Love the intimate family touches, including the beautiful pictures of the kids....Good luck, Kate!!!! This is a winner!,' wrote Robin.
The book has yet to gain an audience and was ranked 10,039 on Sunday in Amazon's list of best sellers.
