Cookery programmes

Who tries out all these ‘celebratory’ recipes?

Sir, – Almost every day we are subjected to cookery programmes on RTÉ. Most are completely irrelevant to the majority of households. The “celebratory” chefs try to make everything sound easy – from preparation to table – but it’s far from it. I wonder how many people enjoy these programmes and, indeed, how many, if any, put what they view into practice? Not many I would guess. – Yours, etc,
