More here on the race kerfuffle:
That article hits on one of my pet peeves — cookbooks that don’t admit how long some recipes really take to get the results they claim. Sweating or caramelizing onions is one a lot of recipes just sort of toss in as if it’ll take a few minutes. Not so!
To get back on topic, I would love to know how many people complaining actually followed the blog, and how many people who followed the blog truly believed that the author was a black thug. I would guess most of the followers who actually cooked the food figured it was a persona of some sort.
OTOH, vegans tend liberal, and I have known some crazy-naive liberals, so maybe not.
