Why don't you fix this recipe? What good does it to have comments and reviews when nobody at Food Network really cares if the recipe is wrong? Who is responsible for these recipes to be correct? If this one is bad, how many others are just as bad but Food Network lets them go through for innocent people to waste time, effort and money believing Food Network does nothing wrong.
