Jessica Seinfeld Wins Cookbook Copycat Case

A federal judge in New York has tossed out a suit claiming that a cookbook by Jerry  Seinfeld's wife plagiarized a rival's book. Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious, like Missy Chase Lapine's The Sneaky Chef, shows parents how to sneak vegetables into their kids' food—an idea nobody can copyright, the judge said. She added that Seinfeld's book is "bright and cheerful" while Lapine's is "dry and text-heavy," the New York Daily News reports.
