Paula Deen is considered many things.To some she represents true American cooking . To others she vilifies the art. One thing she is is honest. Recently this celebrity chef came out with her biggest secret .It will definitely affect her and her fans.
Ms.Deen's problem illness was the subject of an article in yesterday's New York Times Dining section. Dining regular Julia Moskin explores the controversy regarding Ms. Deene's revelation of her having Type 2 diabetes.This affects the way the chef cooks which has always been too sugary and buttery. Her meals are rich , concentrating more on taste than nutrition.Even rival chef , Anthony Bourdain has called her "the worst, most dangerous person on the Food Network." However having this condition may surprisingly be a blessing.
The great chef will have to change her way of cooking and her food choices. Southern cooking , by definition , is always deep fried and dangerous. Vegetables are rarely used and if they are , they''ve been drowned in rich sauces or batter fired. meats are no different . Desserts tend to be overly sweet and just plain lush. Ms. Deen will have to incorporate more steaming in her cooking as well as incorporating less sugar and salt and more herbs and spices.She may have to recommend ending meals with fresh fruits as opposed to pies and layer cakes. it may be a restricted way of eating but one that is certainly beneficial.
Will her fans buy the new Paula Deen? Yes, if they're loyal followers. They may see her as an example of turning an unhealthy lifestyle around to a healthier, better one.
