Liz was supposed to have virtually no cooking experience but was then able to cook fantastic food. Is it just me or does this not ring true.
It takes years of practice and experimentation to perfect dishes and along the way there will be many disasters. Flavour combinations are not always intuitive and balancing the seasoning and flavouring in a complex dish is not something you will get right every time.
I'm not denying she may have a natural competence in the kitchen (a lot of the time, bad cooks either lack concentration or do not start with a firm idea of their final objective). In my opinion she must have been using other peoples recipies and/or being given a lot of coaching.
Even if this is the case I still take my hat off to her as her execution did seem very good.
Maybe I should stop being such miserable cynic.
