Pippa Middleton to write column for magazine

[February 26, 2013]  LONDON (AP) -- Pippa Middleton is making another foray into lifestyle writing.

The younger sister to Prince William's wife Kate will become a columnist for a monthly magazine published by upmarket British grocery store Waitrose.

The column, called "Pippa's Friday Night Feasts," will feature what's billed as "casual dining ideas and recipes."

The 29-year-old, who helps out with her parents' party supplies business, last year launched her first book, "Celebrate," a guide to entertaining at home that included recipes.

The book received largely negative reviews, with many complaining that the tips she offered were obvious and unimaginative. Middleton defended it by saying she had to "cover the basics."

She said Monday that the new column will enable her to share her "passion for food and entertaining."
