I'll be interested in the what the story says. The difference to me is that the internet and apps can be great for sharing recipes, but recipes alone don't really teach you how to cook or bake.
I was in a historical society with a woman who had been my kindergarten teacher. She announced to this group that she never bothered to teach her daughter how to cook, because she had taught her to read. Her daughter's graduation present included a cookbook. In my mind (and those of others there), that was such an appalling statement, as if it excused her of any of the interaction that happens when learning to cook.

The teacher must have given her daughter some other interesting books, too, because the daughter went on to break up a few marriages before marrying a rich artist twice her age!
