Gwyneth Paltrow
Goop
Beyond Goop Kitchen, I think there could be space to create packaged goods, that are different from Moon Juice, but still in line with Goop Kitchen. For example, would there be room for expansion into Frozen Meals aka Goop Kitchen at home? Goop Grocery?

Chrissy Teigen
Cravings by Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen has her two cookbooks, Cravings: Recipes for All of the Food You Want to Eat and Cravings: Hungry For. She also has a line of cookware in Target. I think the natural next step for her would be to create either a ghost kitchen similar to Goop Kitchen for healthy inspired Thai food or a packaged food line. I think there is a gap in the food market for healthy and relatively quick Thai food and Chrissy is the perfect person to fill the void.

Molly Baz
N/A
Molly Baz was a food editor at Bon Appétit. She has since left Bon Appetit, started her own newsletter/recipe club on Patreon, and launched her own cookbook. She has a decent size cult following and sells merch and a branded box of salt as well (proving her community wants to display their excitement about her to others). I think that she could expand her packaged goods beyond just salt. I think it could also be an interesting concept to have a restaurant that features Molly’s (and other recipe creators) recipes.

Poosh
Kourtney Kardashian, the oldest of the Kardashian sisters. Her individual venture is the lifestyle blog, Poosh. Poosh is centered around curating a healthy and luxurious lifestyle. They have a very select few packaged good products, like Matcha. I think she could really profit from expanding her line of Poosh products versus just selling third party.

Alison Roman started in the Bon Appetit kitchen. She is a cook, writer and author of the New York Times best seller "Nothing Fancy" as well as, "Dining In.” Similar to Molly Baz, Alison has a very cult like following. She can be polarizing though, either like / dislike, so there might be more to do with someone like Molly Baz. Regardless, I think Alison could start a delivery market in NYC/ LA that contains all of her go to items for recipes. You could either purchase products individually or you could have them bundled into all the ingredients for a recipe.
