“Sneaky chef” keeps writing

January
22

tjndc5-5hei10hskmpd195dbgt_thumbnail.jpgChase Lapine of Irvington, who wrote “The Sneaky Chef Missy Chase Lapine” and is charging comic Jerry Seinfield and his cookbook-author wife Jessica with plagarism and defamation, is reportedly working on her third book in the Sneaky Chef series, according to the book industry bible, Publishers Weekly.  The magazine says Lapine has signed on with Running Press to write number three — but no title or theme have been announced.

Lapine’s second book, “The Sneaky Chef: How to Cheat on your Man in the Kitchen” is expected in April. For those that don’t know, the “sneaky” refers to how Lapine can add healthy ingredients into recipes to make them tasty and also deceptively good for you.

Lapine  has said the comments from the Seinfelds have been very “hurtful.”

Jerry Seinfeld said her accusations have no merit.

A case in federal court is pending  and it seems there is no slowdown of new sequels to her New York Times bestseller.

Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
