And I second the fact that her cooking isn't meant to be perfectly plated, garnished and ready for a magazine cover.
It's "home style" italian for the most part.
It's simple, low brow, easy...
The show is meant to be a vechile for her to stand around and be hot.. you don't want to get too many complex recipes to draw your attention and draw your eye off the prize...
My aunt also has a very low opinion of her cookbooks, but I couldn't say myself I'm pretty much just a JOy of cooknig guy, with a couple odd ethnic cookbooks thrown in the mix. But I think low of cookbooks with glossy pages, lots of pictures, simple recipes and little instruction, and from a glance at her cookbook, it's all of the above.
