I do like to watch cooking shows (I find it very relaxing to watch someone else cook... hehe). But I'm not sure if this book is for me.

The book does evoke a range of feelings from the reader -- from frustration to hysterics. <br /><br />The whole premise does indeed sound idiotic, come to think of it.
