Wow! Did You See/Hear Martha S. on Rachel R.?
On Joy Behar's show a panel watched an interview w/ Martha on a ABC's Nightline... Martha kinda slams Rachel! I could hardly believe my ears!
While not being mean about it, per se- Martha said essentially (not verbatum) Well, Rachel cannot bake and has never professed to- and she just came out w/ a new cookbook that is basically just a re-edit of old recipes- not even really in a new format... and that's not good enough for me. When I put out a book I want it to be full of new and fresh information that provides a lasting need- I want it to educate and add substance to a person's library and stand the test of time... she's different, she's more of an entertainer- not really a teacher like me.
The panel on Behar's show laughed and called this interview a smug condescending caricachure of Martha... and said that the elites of the Martha Stewart world will never understand the real and everyday appeal of the "every man" .
Reportedly Rachel was sweet and gracious and said Martha's skillset is clearly beyond mine- but that doesn't mean that I consider what I do to be unimportant. I just think Martha's being honest- afterall, I'd rather eat Martha's food, than mine too!
Wow! I still LOVE Martha- and although I'm no big fan of Rachel I would never say her skills are pointless or that her methods don't desere a following... Still... DANG!
