Gwyneth Paltrow hits back at troll who assumes she can't cook

Gwyneth Paltrow was left fuming after a social media troll doubted whether she could cook.

The Shallow Hal star, who has released four cookbooks since 2011, was left outraged when a follower questioned her kitchen skills during an Instagram Live recently.

"Do you think I would pretend to write cookbooks if I didn’t cook?" she posted online.

Paltrow thanked her supporters for "defending" her before turning her attention to the troll.

Her latest cookbook, The Clean Plate: Eat, Reset, Heal, was released in January. Paltrow's other cookbooks My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness and Notes From My Kitchen Table were published in 2011, It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great in 2013.
