Another day, another Jon & Kate Plus 8 controversy. This time, it involves something as seemingly innocuous as a cookbook.
Kate Gosselin, who's not exactly known for her culinary skills on the show, is releasing a cookbook this fall called "Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories." The book will include recipes along with family photos and anecdotes about the eight Gosselin kids.
Kate, who's been lambasted in the tabloids recently for her alleged extramarital affair and difficult personality, has critics fired up again over the recipes in her cookbook. Some claim that she stole them from magazine articles and food boxes.
Still, she has had success as an author so far -- her books "Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets" and "Eight Little Faces" both reached the New York Times Bestseller List. And the controversy surrounding her marriage has boosted ratings for her show, which drew almost 10 million viewers in its fifth-season premiere.
