Foodtainment: The Myth of the 30-Minute-Meal

I'm sitting here watching a "behind the scenes" of the Food Network celebrity cooking shows and getting progressively more upset. I'm trying to get my husband to get as upset as I am, but instead, he says, "Dear, maybe we should just change the channel." Arg. So, of course, I turn to my sisterhood of Skirtsetters for some "hell yeah" support. We have all watched at least one of these shows at one time or another. We've seen Rachel whip up a meal in 30 minutes, watched Giada handle pasta like it is playdoh, and become mesmerized as Bobby Flay masters his grill. Everything in Food Network Land is so "simple," "easy," "takes no time at all!" Yet, somehow, in my kitchen, those same "easy" recipes are never as "simple" as they claim!
