“Heroes” star Ali Larter has hit town to shop a book to publishers that’s billed behind the scenes as “the anti-Goop” cookbook (in reference to Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand). Larter’s “Kitchen Revelry: Fun, Fearless and Festive Ideas To Inspire You To Take a Bite Out of Life” targets the “hedonist” who appreciates “lipstick smudged Champagne glasses” and “a sink of beautifully dirty dishes.” “This journey started during my first, disastrous dinner party,” Larter says. “I lived in a fourth-floor walk-up above a pub . . . I was lonely and trying to use it as a way to meet new people. My insecurities got the best of me and I drank too much wine. I had my mind set on an overly complicated dish . . . I just wish I had found laughter through the tears. Mistakes happen . . . burn, cry, reapply!”
