Who is Sandra Lee? She's the Lifestylist that you see on Food TV and QVC and the author of the Semi-Homemade cookbook series. The Semi-Homemade cooking concept is based on Sandra’s 70/30 philosophy (70% store-bought/ready-made products accompanied by 30% fresh and creative touches) for dishes that look, feel and taste homemade. Semi-Homemade Cooking 2 is her newest cookbook which was released in September of 2005.

Now a word about the so-called "can". Although I'm not exactly a dinosaur, the word "can" implies, to me at least, that it's metal packaging. Procter & Gamble switched over to plastic containers in 2003. I'm not fond of the plastic canisters because I can't pour my hot leftover cooking oil into them without worrying about melting the plastic. It's those little things in life that bug me.
