Mario Batali's on the hook for some back rent. According to a suit filed Sept. 4, the celebrity chef and his business partner Joseph Bastianich, owe $75,000 for their now defunct seafood restaurant, the John Dory.

"It's going to be settled," Bastianich told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. "We've returned the space back to the landlord, and the rent is going to be paid today or tomorrow."

The pair were guarantors of the failed restaurant, the Daily News reports.

More than a decade ago -- long before Del Posto, Otto and road trips through Spain with Gwyneth Paltrow -- Mario Batali had two restaurants, Pó and Babbo, and was just beginning to grow his rock-'n'-roll, orange-Croc-wearing legend through the Food Network.

It's there that we find him with "Mario Batali Simple Italian Food," his first cookbook, which takes readers through the tastes of Borgo Capanne, where Batali worked in Trattoria La Volta on the border of the Italian regions Emilia-Romagna and Toscana, as well as his other "village," New York.

Batali divides the recipes of these villages by color: The orange-titled ones are those he invented in New York; the brown titles are those he learned in Italy.

See what we tested and whether it's worth buying after the jump.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Latest Project: Quick Roasted Chicken

Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow has road-tripped through Spain with Mario Batali and Mark Bittman on "Spain On the Road Again," and the chefs' culinary know-how seems to be rubbing off.

The star of "Shakespeare in Love" has made a move towards her own cooking show with a roasted chicken how-to video she posted to her Web site Goop. During the nearly 8-minute video, the actress debones a chicken while talking about learning to cook while a 19-year-old student at the University of California at Santa Barbara.

"I was trying to be an actress as well so I kept driving down to LA to audition for movies, and my dad was there working. We sort of started getting into cooking together; we got sick of the frozen meatballs that were left in the freezer for us," Paltrow says. "It just became our thing. So we started watching a lot of cooking channels, and over the years its become a major passion."

Gwyneth Paltrow is Writing Her Own Cookbook

Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to the foodie world. She's traveled Spain with Mario Batali, Mark Bittman, and Claudia Bassols to taste all that the country has to offer. And now she's getting into home cookin'.

The Telegraph reports that Paltrow is going to publish her first cookbook next year, called My Father's Daughter, focusing on "the importance of togetherness at mealtime, emphasizing that cooking for your family is the ultimate expression of love."

I imagine that means there will be some remembrances of dad Bruce Paltrow, but what there won't be is a whole bunch of macrobiotic love. She's given up that food trend and is now reveling in all that is local, organic, and seasonal, with a healthy side of vices like coffee and wine. So basically, like most other cookbooks out there, I guess. We'll have to see what next year brings!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Mario Batali will tour Spain together

Remember that show on the FoodNetwork in which Mario Batali and a sidekick toured Italy? Well, this October and November, Mario is taking his orange clogs for a culinary tour of Spain. His sidekick this time, though, is actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

According to an interview with Gwyneth in W magazine (the one with the cover shot where she most definitely doesn't look like herself), she offered to go with the Iron Chef, who asked if she was joking. She wasn't. Gwyneth spent many a childhood summer in Spain, and apparently, will "eat all that stuff. The crazy fish things, the eels." The only things she won't eat are beef and pork products, which is such a shame. How do you go to Spain and not eat Jamon Iberico?

I don't know about you, but I'm excited for the show to air on PBS. Gwyneth's voice is a little annoying to me, but I adore Chef Batali.

Celebrity food requests

Ever wonder what sort of quirky food habits the celebrities might have? After all, they are celebrities and, therefore, are likely to have some off beat needs and requests. Following are just a few.

Julia Roberts takes her own soy milk to coffee shops.
Winona Ryder requests to have organic cola on hand at photo shoots.
Sex and the Citystar Kim Catrall has Diamond Organics deliver food to her while traveling.
Christina Aguilera reportedly stocks her dressing room with organic milk and soy cheese.
Gwyneth Paltrow relies on her yoga instructor to whip up macrobiotic meals.

It all sounds divine. I could pass on the soy milk. But organic food delivery service and custom made meals? Yes, those are good things.
