Part of my dislike (not hate) is that fact that she, and others (including a fair number of magazines and cook books) are dumbing down food prep. I am SO sick of reading 'Take a store bought pie crust' or 'Take one store bought vanilla cake' etc. Really, does anyone think a basic pie crust or cake are rocket surgery??? People seem suddenly scared of baking, or making something as simple as pastry. Sure, by all means, buy pre-made puff or filo, because they are more fiddly and time consuming. But a pie crust? In a pie dish, where small tears bumps etc are not going to be noticed? This is cookery 101 stuff, not haute cuisine!
