Science 2.0 Featured Author Greg Critser isn't satisfied being a respected journalist for the LA Times, the Times of London and the New York Times along with selling a lot of books, so he has branched out into the world of being a celebrity chef.
Yes, I said celebrity chef. In television, actors and managers generally tell the talent it is a bad idea to be in a show with kids and dogs. I suspect celebrity chefs have a similar rule, namely that you don't try to make pasta live.
I hate making pasta to such an extent I actually spent $100 on a pasta making extension for our food processor, but the instructions were so arcane, and the cleanup process so onerous, it sits in a box, my money wasted, but I have limits to my patience. I'm not Job.
I make dough, I make wide noodles, but not actual pasta, because it's such a pain. Greg, however, has no such hesitation. Bonus: Most celebrity chefs would also be hesitant to issue statements like "None of that organic bullshit" ... and as he notes, the word 'smegma' is also not in "The Joy of Cooking".
