The Semi-Homemade World of Sandra Lee
From Julia Child to Martha Stewart, television's domestic goddesses enjoy a special place in the gay man's heart. Can sandra Lee and her campy, vampy act join their ranks? A box of Velveeta and some graham crackers say she can.
By Joshua David Stein





Sandra Lee wants you to know you can count on her. Anywhere, anytime, turn on your television and she'll be there, mixing ranch dressing with tomato sauce for a Tuscan marinade and smiling knowingly at you from the fantasy floral kitchen set of her show, Semi-Homemade Cooking With Sandra Lee. If you happen to need her when she’s not on call, there are the 17 cookbooks Lee has published in the last four years, her 2007 memoir Made From Scratch, and the newest addition in her bid for the hearts and stomachs of the American public, the Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade magazine. And if you’re lucky enough to come face-to-face with Lee, her bright blue eyes will widen in enthusiasm and empathy. A long slender hand may rest lightly on your arm. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from -- a beleaguered housewife in Shaker Heights, Ohio, or a closeted gay in San Diego -- Sandra Lee loves you.

You have to hand it to her. She has really made something of herself starting with very little. I have got to admire that.

whoa risqué picture much more exposure and it will be over exposed. Yes, sure has made quiet the name for herself and come a long ways. After hearing some of her life story makes you think it has been a difficult road for her, and you wonder how much of the gossip that goes with it is true.
