Jessica Seinfeld is a popular American cookbook author and a noted philanthropist. She has four bestselling cookbooks to her credit that deal primarily with food preparation for families and making cooking easy for beginners. She is the founder and president of a New York City-based charitable organization, ‘Baby Buggy’, now named as ‘Good+ Foundation’ that tries to help families in need in New York with donations of essential goods and services by partnering a national network of charities. Her very first book landed her in controversy following litigation by another author accusing her of infringing intellectual property rights, however, she was absolved of any wrongdoing by the court. Normally a private person, her divorce just weeks after her first marriage, and getting engaged and then married to celebrity comedian Jerry Seinfeld, received a lot of media coverage. She lives in New York City in an East Hampton house formerly owned by Billy Joel, with her husband, three children, two cats, and two pet dogs.
