Rachael, a cookbook writer as well, agreed with Gwyneth. However, she didn't exactly make it sound like she writes her books entirely by herlself.
"I so strongly agree," Rachael said. "This is how I spend the little time at home I have with my family: I spend it in front of these little notebooks, in front of the computer. It sort of takes away from all of that to not be able to call that writing — of course that's writing. It doesn't mean you don't value the people who write the glossary or that help organize the pantry or that work on a project, but a writer is still a writer."
