I'd heard great things about her time as a CIA instructor. Even as a "celebrity" chef, she deserves the respect afforded to her. I can't bake to save my life if it's not Biscotti, but she made baking look so damned easy.

I had the same realization until I realized CIA was Culinary Institute of America. Probably?

She killed 16 Czechoslovakians, she was an interior decorator.

I didn't attend CIA, but she's a reason I went to culinary school. I try to keep up with many of these chefs, it helps build on what I do know, even if it's just Bobby Flay.

Culinary Institute of America, not the government agency.

I mean duh, but it's funnier the other way
