What world are you living in? Jessica Seinfeld does not cook. Her house takes up 2 city blocks and you thinks she cooks for her kids? She is nothing more than a rich, boorish wife and wanted her own little fame. Want to feed your children healthy foods? Get a clue and go to any cookbook and you can too.

Oprah is not going into Jessica Seinfeld, never. Jerry Seinfeld is her peer and they do stick together. They put on that little show for us silly billy women who OPRAH THINKS will fall for her every word.

Yes, Oprah you are rich and Jessica send you 21 pairs of shoes. More is more....remember "the secret"??
WHY? Oh, yeah but we are all too dumb to see you parade your friends on your show for '' FOR THE CHILDREN"


WELL THANK GOD OPRAH TOLD ME HOW TO FEED MY KIDS........WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT JERRY'S WIFE GREAT TIPS?

I'm losing respect for Oprah fast....real fast. Oprah knew that this book was not unique or a major new scientific discovery. The real chef couldnot get on the Oprah show...she was JUST A NOBODY. NO MOVIE, SONG, CONCERT TO PROMOTE. She tried and was turned down by the Oprah.
Oprah insults her viewers by praising that recipe swiper wife of a comedian.. Does anyone really think Jessica Seinfeld cooks? Jessica does not cook, she did not write the book.....ok...she has people that do that for her!

People wake up...you have been fooled.


Why all the love Oprah?

ARE YOU NO LONGER TRUSTWORTHY...SELLING OUT FOR YOUR FRIENDS. FAVORS THIS HIGH CAN BE DAMAGING FOR YOUR IMAGE.

This is really pathetic...
Oprah you ARE IN Jerry Seinfeld's movie. He plugs the movie on your show. You fawn all over him and his wife
on your show

He does an interview for your magazine.

Jessica plugs her book on your show... You fawn all over her on the show.
"This is life changing"....oh brother!!!!
She has a best seller & is now BEING ACCUSED OF PLAGERISM by the
NY Times
NY DAILY NEWS
The HUFFINGTON POST


Jessica sends you $20,000.00 in shoes

You don't even address the plagerism issue????
I thought you were soemone who had strong values & morals?
Apparently, you've gone Hollywood. I won't be watching you anymore!

Where is Jessica...she has been laying low since she's been outed.
Did anyone see her on the Today Show....she doesn't know what she's doing!

the more she talks about "her" recipes...the more opportunity she has to make a big mistake..we all know someone else wrote this book

I re-read the NY TImes article today...I don't believe it stated that the manuscript was "stolen." But it is certainly a very strange coincidence. Of course, Jerry Seinfeld made a good point....she certainly doesn't need the money. What was very telling was the fact that in the Times article Steve Ross, president and publisher of Collins, said the publisher agreed to meet with Mrs. Seinfeld when she submitted a similar proposal two weeks later because of her name and her agent: Jennifer Rudolph Walsh of William Morris. Note: Because of her NAME. This is what I said when she first appeared on the show, but I got slammed by some other posters here. This cookbook would never have been published if she wasn't married to Jerry Seinfeld. And Oprah would never have had her on her show except that she is in JS's new movie and it was no doubt a package deal....have his wife on the show, get JS on the show. It's also worth noting that the Times article mentions the fact that not only on the Oprah Messageboards, but also at Amazon the people reviewing the book are questioning the fact that it is so much like the SC.

having Jessica on the show should resolve any issues any one has on the validity of her book

I second the viewers emailed request. Ms. Winfrey talks about authentic self and finding "voice" yet she shows how she can be swayed by "21 pairs of shoes as a thank you." This is an inexpensive way to buy someone...given Ms. Winfrey's high net worth. Obviously, if the producers did research and were managed better, they would have discovered another cook book that came out earlier by a sister company and Oprah would have been less grandoise about her statements. This show is going downhill. Oprah's show now features celebutants (people who married famous people and now famous) and gets the audience excited by free stuff. Just what we need in America - more free stuff. Oprah show producers you must address the plagarism issue for credibility. The cookbooks share 15 of the same recipies!!!!! Please consider moving back to a more 2 way dialogue where the audience and Oprah can ask good questions on real topics. Thank you, Signed from a person that wanted to attend Oprah's Show but now would not consider attending given the embarrasing show on "original puree foods cookbook" by a woman Nina Sklar that changed her name to Jessica - gimme a break!
