Ha -- no one who listened to me would have a successful television show. My question about cookbook authors is: how much testing takes place? I have a friend who is a cookbook author and it is fascinating to talk to him about his work (and also to taste, of course). He is meticulous about recipe testing, and writes very detailed recipes so even the novice can have success.

I haven't watched cooking shows since Chef John Folse was on PBS. I did learn to make a roux from him.
