Post subject:  Recipes these days
It's great that so many people seem to love "cooking", but REALLY it's frustrating when "recipes" nowadays consist of "instant cake mix + CoolWhip + crushed pineapple". It's a disgusting insult to real cooking/baking and I'm so frustrated by hitting site after site of it on the internet. I'm a student who can't zip out for specialty pre-made ingredients full of preservatives and with a chocked-up price from processing. Doesn't anybody make things with the BASICS - flour, sugar, etc? Really it's no more difficult.

Disappointed,
Emily (new to this site)

Hello Emily,

I suggest you go buy a bag of your favorite grain and some sugar cane and start grinding because both flour and sugar are processed and contain additives that increase the price. Its interesting that the 3 ingredients you hit on were all sweet "instant cake mix + CoolWhip + crushed pineapple". Only a small portion of the recipes in this site are for desert. I suggest you look beyond your sweet tooth and into the other 99% of the netcooks website where you can learn to cook "real" recipes from different countries from around the world. Really, it's no more difficult. :lol:

We certainly don't want to overlook the basics. With a memory like mine it helps to have a reference where the temp and time for baking a chicken can be found. When I get around to baking that chicken though, it's gonna be spruced up some way and new products on the shelf at the grocery offer interesting possibilities. I find recipes of both types interesting and useful.

I find both types useful, too - sometimes the constraints of time in a busy society just don't allow all of us to peruse the purest form of cooking. It's just a fact of modern day life and I Don't think getting your undies in a bundle is worth it. Why don't you join the community instead of just grumbling as a guest - maybe we can all find some happy mediums, so to speak!
