Good to have you back on the Dandy Sandy loath train. It makes my heart feel gladdened and embiggended.

chisai

It's so great to have you back to Sandy bashing. No one alive does it better than you do.

chloe

I am totally with you on the loath "semi-homeade" thing. I actually think it should be called semi-homeassembled.

okay, okay, did you ever notice how they have those Food Network get-togethers on the air with the other people...ie Bobby Flay, Paula whatshername, the cute Italian Giada, Alton Brown, etc. and semi-homeade is never invited. Because they all COOK together. They don't want her to bring like a can of Campbell's and be like, yeah I'm going to use this on the grill on your seasonal corn! Very creative!

you've got me cracking up--everything i thought and wanted to put into words but couldn't bring myself to sit down and do. you hit it on the head. much love.

katie

hahaha! Glad to see I'm not the only one who grabs the remote when Sandra comes on. The Lifetime channel is preferable (and not that much different)!

I've never made anything w/ celery root before so now you've got me inspired.

Once had a celery root panna cotta at a tasting dinner on my BD. YUM!

thanks for the chuckle.

The Bitter One

So glad to see I'm not the only one who despises her. I watch her show, but only to see the abortionesque dishes that she creates. Not to mention her horrid cocktails and tablescapes. Those tablescapes have to be the biggest waste of time and money I've ever seen. Her Kwanzaa Cake has earned her a special place in HELL.

I guess you can say I've become semi-obsessed over semi-homemade.

To be fair, the 4 hours referred to is not in an over at 400f, but in a slow cooker on the low setting.

But I still think I'd like your recipe much, much better.

It's odd, I don't watch much TV but much of the time I am watching TV it's Food Network. I'm familiar with all of the cooks/chefs mentioned by other posters, above. But I only heard about Sandra Lee today. Is her show still on?

poly

I am all for her shows. It is good to make dinner in little time and show it off as well as she does. She claimes it is to help the working women, and that she does, She also helps the stay at home women and men, there is a group that is seldom mentioned, the elderly. She show us what to buy that is new for many, the beauty and simple ideas to make it beautifull and meaningfull.
She makes my day. Keep up the good Work.
I am here.

Delilah

You all have way too much time on your hands. Maybe you should take a lesson from Sandra and spend some of your extra time with charities etc. like she does. Have you read her bio. Way more impressive than you will ever be I'm sure. Get a life.

The Bitter One

You get a life, Delilah....No Fandras allowed. Beat it before I pelt you with FRESH vegetables.

studboy

I think you are missing the point. None of the Food Network personalities are supposed to be world-renowned chefs. They are personalities, ie. entertainers. Do you watch crime dramas and ridicule the star because he didn't follow actual police protocol when apprehending a suspect? It is just a t.v. show. Sandra Lee is hot as hell, and I love to watch her on screen. Maybe her recipes aren't considered fine dining, but it is a show, it is entertainment, it isn't a course at a culinary school.

LoveSandra

You are so off base! It's pointlessly rude to dis Sandra Lee and the Food Network. Sandra brings great ideas to the everyday cook that need dinner on the table fast. And the other chefs such as Emeril, Bobby, and Giada are all professionally trained and make tremendous amounts of money being sucessful entertainers and restaurant owners. I'm sure that many people that watch the Food Network have learned cooking tips and techniques and have become better in their own right. Sounds to me that you are a snobbish gourmand who is jealous of their stardom!

KOD

Chisai,You are wrong about Sandra Lee never being at one of those Food Network get-togethers she was at a Holiday Special Show.

I just wanted to bring the conversation back to the original subject, ie Sandra SUCKS!!! Her show is full artificial orange colored cheese and red dye number 21423432 SHI$!!! I just watched the episode where she's at the Nascar racetrack,... which makes perfect sense to me, but I digress... KOD: she sure was on the holiday episode with the other chefs,... Have you noticed them doing one together since? I'll take a bet they don;t do one ever again! I felt so sorry for the actual trained chefs there to put up with her antics. Her ideas are great, quick food for the working Mom (or in rarer cases Dad), but quick meals CAN avoid fake cheese, canned vegetables & meat, and Ranch Dressing. I feel like I'm watching the Pilsbury Bake-off when I watch her food prep. I like that she loves decorating, those are where she shines, she oughta get someone else to do the food. Oh, and the episode I watched today,... First, calling it a carpetbEggAr steak is absolutely incorrect, its called a CarpetBAGGER steak, and involves absolutely different prep than hers and is an immensely delicious mix of great beef and oysters she shoved mushrooms (probably canned) and some other crap (with mayo i think) into portions that looked like filet minion size after dying them in what musta been dollar store red wine. I'm sorry an occassion to cook is an occassion to cook well. Im done!

kmm

Whether you like her or not...like anything is a personal choice; an opinion. We're (you're) all entitled. I challenge you to read about her life and where she's come from and how hard she had worked to get where she is. Oh, and the fact - yes, fact, (easily checked) that she is a culinary graduate - "real chef". I find it sad and odd that someone would spend the time and effort in their life to bash someone. Just don't watch if you don't like her - I can't imagine what kind of hateful person goes to these lengths!! Here's another challenge - instead of lashing out, pick someone you like, and spend the time to praise them! Or just improve yourself.

pjracz

I don't and do agree with her methodology in the the kitchen. With so many people having busy schedules her simplistic recipes seemed to be rather quick to prepare where as the "pro's" some of their recipes take alot of prep, time that one might not favor after work ect. Plus the "pro's" have years of experience, their trained at culinary schools, and in their restaurants and programs they have soux chefs, prep and line cooks ect. But Sandra should make a few shows that instead of Semi Homemade be a 100% Homemade say a holiday dinner, when you have a day off dinner, whatever. I love her decorations and I just contradicted myself lol, THAT would take alot of time to fix the table setting, kitchen, ect., maybe that is why is is doing semi homemade dishes? The settings are very nice, but one would need a warehouse to store all the different styles of plates, glasses, silerware, vases, curtains, theme for the kitchen, her outfits to match, ect. I do like her demeanor better then that bobblehead Rachael Ray, she's corny and don't get me started on Paula Deen, her party show, I have to go out and have a beer (or 10) after watching that show...man!!!!

Bourdainiac

I think people should learn the basics of home cooking first, THEN learn to make shortcuts. Scamdy hasn't even done that - she just throws shit together and tries to pass it off as cuisine. I try to understand her and her defenders, but I simply cannot do so! She's a hack, pure and simple. She admitted she is more into design than cooking, but she accepted the gig on the Food Network, which shows you how greedy and mercenary she is - her meal assemblages are just a means to an end! In my earlier days, I thought she was not so bad, but if you sit and watch her show and LISTEN to her, you can see what a louse this woman is - more than half of the info she gives you on her food is either lies, misinformation, or totally contradictory. She's a great businesswoman, I'll give her that, but she has no true, real passion for food like most of the cooking show hosts on FN and elsewhere do! Snark on Bourdain and Ramsey and Zimmern for ragging on her, but these guys love cooking and eating, they are outspoken in their passion for all things culinary; I respect that. Giada, Nigella, Ina, hell, even Paula - they love food and the process that goes into making it. For Scamdy, it's just cha-CHING!!! She's so shady, I just wish more people would see it!

Leslie

For the poster (Stephen) who said Sandra is a culinary graduate - I think it is you who should check your facts. Yes, Sandra attended the Cordon Bleu (one of those programs they offer to wealthy housewives), but she didn't like it and dropped out. She is not a trained chef - far from it. Have you ever watched her chopping technique - hardly that of a trained chef.

Jeff Daniels

I was looking online & ran across the Food Network website. They list all the people that have shows as "chefs". If Sandra Lee & Rachael Ray are chefs, then Popeye was an admiral!

Jen

hm, yea, but your "food" picture looks like vomit!

Oscar

How are you. I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. Help me! I find sites on the topic: Anti asthma. I found only this - methylprednisolone acetate. Find the anti allergic agents you need on alibaba. Stars hotel at the outskirts of salzburg downtown. :o Thanks in advance. Oscar from Verde.

Sandra Lee is about as much a chef as a funnel cake glued to the underside of a car. Okay, maybe the grill of a car.

Look, rough past? Sure, I'm not going to wish that on anyone. Hard worker? Why not. But you're not fooling a soul when your dishes rely on assembling the most ridiculous, clashing, uselessly cheap ingredients

Not to mention it's more cost effective AND healthy to use fresh ingredients and work with your leftovers. Sure, go ahead and be cheap... but the smart cook knows where cutting corners hampers more than helps. I'm not going to rag on using store brand or ready mixes as time/money savers: I use them myself. However, Miss Sandra is doing a right damn disservice with her skimping. This is food. You know, the stuff that you put in your body? I'm not one for obsessive food diary-ing and I certainly don't have the income to be picky... but why inflict Sandra Lee's culinary lassitude on your body?

Oh. Malign someone's personal agenda as much as you'd like-- being charitable? Doesn't redeem your inability as a cook, amateur or otherwise. Not to mention that her time and money are suspect. (I'd love to give loads to charities, perhaps I should also start a show where I discourage people from easy, fresh dishes via cooking, too. Hey, THERE'S a thought!) Although one wonders where she gets the extra hours, considering how much time is dedicated to "tablescaping".

It's called FoodNetwork. What a damn shame that it's more about how she looks than her utter lack of respect for food. I'd feel sorry for her if she hadn't sealed my disrespect with that Kwanzaa Cake nonsense.

No pity forgives that slop.

Hello
I like to create and cook new recipe.I have never tried this recipe before.I will definitely try this recipe.Thank you very much for sharing such a tasty recipe with us.

Dirty Dave

I think you are off base on slamming her Chicken scallopine (corrected spelling) recipe by claiming that she braises the chicken breasts for hours in bouillon.

Nothing of that is true. The recipe has NO bouillon in it. And the cooking of the chicken breasts is as follows:

" Heat oil in a large skillet. Combine the rest of the leek
soup mix with some flour. Dredge chicken fillets in flour
mixture and place in skillet. Cook for about 2 1/2 minutes
each side."

Not a recipe I would make - but, not all that bizarre, either.
