Cooks are becoming big stars. I mean, if you watch their shows, they all put together the ingredients, pop the mess into the oven, and instantly pull out the finished version. No, it's all just an illusion. The finished food is probably plastic. These TV cooks are illusionists, magicians.
Real cooking is easy.
I will tell you everything you need to know about it. Never buy any food you can't microwave. Honestly, I don't know why kitchens even have traditional ovens and stoves anymore. I guess, once again, they help maintain the fiction that people cook. Macaroni and cheese is the best food ever.
