Pilsbury Bake-Off

Posted by Otabenga, April 11, 2008

I heard the most interesting piece on NPR this morning. The winner of the 1998 Pilsbury Bake-Off has written a book about the experience. I've been kind of dismissive of the concept because of its "semi-homemadeness" (not that I'm a total Sandra Lee hater), but the woman in the piece was such a good interview, very self-deprecating and shocked that she'd won with her recipe for Salsa Couscous Chicken. Has anyone ever entered or considered entering this contest? I can't say that I'm much of a creator of recipes of my own, especially with pre-packaged ingredients, but she did bring her experience to life in a humorous way.
