[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That and other things....not having prepped ingredients prior (like softening butter), looking like she does not know what she is doing, calling her mother and asking very basic questions....she seems kind and it's all in fun and i assume her shtick may be self deprication and looking less competent than she is. (because it is after all a "pretend" cooking show). Or she was really a new learner and was comfortable looking like it? Who knows?  I am not sure. It may be a generational thing. Having grown up around serious cooks she is hard for me to watch, being adorable, gaining some arrention and showing all the equipment and the high end kitchen seems more the goal here. Everyone has to be a teacher today for some reason...apparently even having celebrity is not enough sometimes, you have to have "learners"...everyone wants to be martha stewart (who I never thought was such a great teacher either, she's a taskmaster who told you what to do....very little open curiosity or flexibility ever shown, except when her mother was on and then we all saw a real, down to earth home cook. Her mother rang true even when sometimes martha did not.) It's a fun gig for social media, not meant to really teach anything real, it's just meant to be fun to watch her do it, I guess.[/quote]She’s not trying to be a serious cook. At all. That’s the point and why it’s called the “pretend cooking show.” It’s for fun, just real people (i.e., not perfect) in the kitchen. It’s definitely not for people who want to watch serious cooks.
