I can identify with you Granny. How much fun it is to knead bread or mix cake batter or roll out cookies, and how boring to make spaghetti etc. Although pasta is sooo good.
and how boring to make spaghetti etc.<<<
I think that it goes back to when I was a kid, I took over all the cooking the year I was 9 years old, we didn’t bake bread or cakes except on special occasions, so it was all a mystery to me.
Biscuits were simply made in the top of the flour sack, make a hole, add the stuff and mix until you had a dough.
Cornbread was even rare.
So cookbooks with all those fancy things that one read about in books and saw sometimes in a movie, always interested me.
We will not mention that i like sweets.
