I think Rosalind was preempting Delia's "how to cook" series, many years
beforehand. I actually know people who wouldn't have the foggiest idea how
to cook baked beans, boil an egg, or even grill bacon.
I blame Starbucks :-)

My 17 teen went on the internet to make sure he was frying an egg
properly (and safely) and found Delia's 'basic' cooking guide
wonderful. I know what he's getting for xmas. Poor lad ;o)
