Well yes to some cooking is a pleasure and worth while goal. Unfortunately not everyone has the time to cook and enjoy food as it should be enjoyed. I think when she said what she did it was to be helpful not boastful.The iron chef good show however how many people have the ingredients at hand that they do? Think you have to go with what you have at hand I would be more impressed with some who could take the norm and make it taste like the extreme.
