It goes on to suggest that the writer is now collaborating with the Shakespeare in Love actress for a second cookbook.
Paltrow took to Twitter to deny the claims, saying: "Love @nytimes dining section but this weeks [sic] facts need checking. No ghost writer on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself."
On the dedication page of the book, Paltrow pays fulsome tribute to Turshen, writing that she could: "not have written this book without the tireless, artful assistance of Julia Turshen, who stood over my shoulder at the stove and chopping block for the better part of a year, bringing a method to my freestyling madness."
And on Turshen's website, the writer herself lists My Father's Daughter under a list of books she has worked on.
The New York Times article, by Julia Moskin, was illustrated with a photograph of the cover of My Father's Daughter, above a caption reading: "Gwyneth Paltrow's ghostwriter is Julia Turshen."
The article, which lifts the lid on the world of ghostwriting in the cooking industry, goes on to say: "Julia Turshen, who is writing a second cookbook with Gwyneth Paltrow after their collaboration on My Father's Daughter, began as the ghostwriter for the ghostwriter on a book by Mario Batali, tagging along with a notebook as the chef filmed a culinary romp through Spain."
The book itself gives an intimate glimpse into Paltrow's family life, providing stories and anecdotes about her father and other relatives alongside home cooking-style recipes.
