Jessica Seinfeld continued to promote her cookbook "Deceptively Delicious" on "The View" today. She also answered Barbara Walters' question about charges of recipe plagiarism. This spring Missy Chase Lapine wrote "The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals," and some thought Jessica's recipes were eerily familiar.

When Jerry was on Letterman last month (watch here, scroll down) he mocked the charges of vegetable "plagiarism," but Jessica had yet to respond on air until today.

To paraphrase: Missy is jealous because her book didn't debut at the top of best-seller lists and get her on Oprah. And why would Jessica steal recipes, because she doesn't need the money, anyway.

Watch it:

From ABC, 11/19

WHAT A SHAME, SHE IS CONVINCED SHE IS A SUCCESS BECAUSE SHE HAS MONEY. MRS SEINFELD YOU ARE A FAILURE IN HUMANITY AND CLASS. THIS IS A CLEAR EXAMPLE THAT MONEY IS FAR FROM EVERYTHING.

If you ever want to watch the Seinfeld's squirm, just bring up this topic and feel the scheudenfreud.

I'm very amused by this saga.

She could have come clean, but now she's going to be explaining this forever.

Jessica should keep her mouth shut. No one with an IQ higher than George Bush believes a word she says. She's a liar, a plagiarist, a gold digger and a whore.

All this venom seems in excess of the situation, as though ulterior motives for attacking Mrs. Seinfeld are afoot. But aside from that observation, I have recently become devoted to many of the cooking programs on the FoodNetwork and have learned new (to me) methods for using regular items one would find easily in almost any cupboard or fridge. When I look up recipes on the FoodNetwork web site, I find dozens and dozens of similarly designed suggestions but I do not think I would consider this an example of plagiarism.
This is how the creative process works, we experiment with what came before, and build on it. When we can no longer do so, innovation will die. The difficulty is making sure all who participated realize credit for their contribution.
It seems to me Jessica Seinfeld is being targeted for her personal life rather than professional aspirations.

Jerry and Jessica Snobfeld are abusing their power to misogynistically disparage Missy Chase Lapine as a jealous, crazy wacko.

Jessica is dressed like Snow White in this video, but she behaves like a Wicked Witch.

Unfortunate title.

what I think is disgraceful is that the publisher hasn't pulled Steinfeld's book off the shelves.
Once you get the two books, and compare the recipes, it immediately becomes clear that steinfeld plagerized her book. the recipes are identical; so is the format. Funny too that Lapine's book was on the shelves first. Steinfeld just plain got caught red-handed! Her husband's response? missy lapine is a "wacko." and jesicca's response is that the woman whose work she plagerized is jealous of her success. Get Steinfeld off the air and her book off the shelves.
By the way, does anyone wonder why Lapine hasn't sued? Was a financial settlement reached (instead of shoes) hushing her up, and allowing Jessca to continue to do the TV circuit, or is that too conspiracy theory?

Jessica Snobfeld even plagiarized her first name, which is actually Nina.

I thought it was disgraceful that Jerry Snobfeld appeared on Letterman to call Missy Chase Lapine "a wacko" and compare her to "wacko assassins" like Lee Harvey Oswald and Mark David Chapman and John Wilkes Booth because she has "three names"... Mr. and Mrs. Snobfeld are the character assassins.

I wonder how many pairs of shoes Barbara Walters received for that unappetizing puff-piece.

After this,Ms.Lapine really needs to sue the pants
off this snotty plagiarist.

My wife has both books and clearly,Mrs.Seinfeld is a plagiarizing ninny trying to get something for nothing.
