What's important for a TV show is that things LOOK good, not that they
actually BE good. My guess is that this cooking scene was carefully
planned to catch people's attention and generate discussion that would
generate more viewers for the show. Or, it was an inside joke, "let's
pull a fast one on the viewers, we'll show a horrid recipe and they'll
be moaning and groaning about it for weeks."
