As I was interviewing people and watching TV shows for WWWE, I tried to figure out why all these professional/celebrity cooks are so interested in having us all cook at home. I mean, the exhortations can be brutal at times, can’t they? Why do they care so much? It makes sense that they love sharing their passion, and of course, I suppose, what would be the point of most  cooking shows if they weren’t inspiring us to cook? I came up with what I thought was an acceptable answer (see last chapter of the book), but I admit that the question still nags at me at times and most answers leave me wanting. One of the better set of responses I’ve seen so far is from Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, creators of the “crowd-sourced” cookbook project, food52. If you go to this page from their site and skip down to the list after “Because:” you’ll see what I mean. And see if you agree with me. If you want to start a conversation on this or any other food/TV topic, I exhort you to become a fan of WWWE on Facebook and post your mind.

Why is Mario always bossing me?
