Sushi, like most everything else in Japanese culture is an art, and you can't fake art.
Yes you can, I've had bad sushi before, and I can make good sushi out of a can of tuna. You on the other hand have been writing really bad books for a long time now, and still get paid for it. I honestly think you don't want your daughter to read your books because she'll see how far down hill they've gone and what a hack writer you are.
And while I do think that encouraging kids to read what you think they are ready for, and discouraging what you don't think they are ready for, is a good idea; they will read things you don't think are good for them anyway. If Trinity is 14 or 15 years old now, by her age I was already reading your books, and my step dad is the one who got them for me to begin with.
As for those from southern states, I'm from Texas and the only thing I would ever cook in a big pot is either soup, soup stock if I were making homemade, or spaghetti. Actual cooking takes more then just throwing it in a pot... I shudder to think of where exactly she's been eating.
