Bad Cookbooks

[Anonymous No.14821853]

Are there any notoriously bad cookbooks or recipes out there? Is there an equivalent to The Room but in cookbook form?

Someone's gonna post "Microwave Cooking for One", but if you actually look up her shit, none of it is the "throw shit together, nuke on high for 90 seconds" crap that you'd expect. She actually explains how to do shit you'd never think possible with a microwave like frying and browning meat

Maybe we really do take access to information for granted? Maybe something as basic as the relative ratio of processed cheese and milk to noodles was worth saving at one point? Maybe this was just stuck to the back of something else that got put in the box?

This.

Much of the criticism of Lee has coalesced around a recipe for "Kwanzaa Cake" . . . The recipe consisted of angel food cake topped with icing, cinnamon, apple pie filling, pumpkin seeds and corn nuts (which she referred to as acorns), all of which were store-bought, with seven Kwanzaa candles then inserted into the cake.

Cookbook author Denise Vivaldo, who claims to have ghostwritten recipes for many celebrity chefs, wrote a humorous post in The Huffington Post in December 2010 stating that she was responsible for the recipe (though she said that the candles were Lee's idea), and apologizing for it. She also wrote that Lee "has incredibly bad food taste".

While that is where much of the criticism of Lee comes from, it is a perfect encapsulation of what her show is like, from ice cream shaped to look like a baked potato to a confusing cream cheese dip with chunks of cashews in it everything is just done without any thought or care. This all being said, I don't even completely dislike Lee, her content where she gets trashed while making shitty cocktails is fun.
