Martha bashing has become de riguer, or seems to me anyway. Having said
that, I do have one of her cookbooks and in its case, at least, Lou's
first sentence is spot on. It's one I'm going to give away, maybe
someone else can find something redeeming and/or useful in it.
I've watched a few episodes of Everyday Cooking and find it to be useful
at times. And there are many folks, myself included at times, who need
the KISS of shows like this. What's the harm? I'd far rather watch EC
than most anything on Food Network.
