Here's an honest, serious question: Why don't any TV chefs bake any
more? Giada doesn't, Rachael doesn't, Emeril doesn't, Mario doesn't,
Sandra can't. What's the prob?

I'm not a big cooking fan, but I'm a competent baker. It's
ridiculously easy: even Sandra Lee should be able to throw together a
batch of muffins. Are they just incapable of following a (basic)
recipe, or using ingredient calibration equipment (i.e., teaspoons and
tablespoons)?

I dunno, you think maybe they don't perceive baking as glitzy or
flamboyant as a plate of food garnished and shoved in front of the
camera? Just guessing here.
