Domestic Goddess

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Domestic Goddess was a planned cooking show hosted by actress and comedian Roseanne Barr. There was also a reality show based on the making of the cooking show called The Real Roseanne Show. Both the cooking show and the reality show were canceled due to Roseanne's emergency hysterectomy in the summer of 2003. No episodes of Domestic Goddess were filmed before its cancellation.

[edit] Title

The title of the show came from Roseanne's coined term "domestic goddess." It took the idea of political correctness, which often suggests terms that may be less offensive to replace other phrases, and turned it on its ear. At its core, it is another - no less valid - way of saying "housewife."

Since January 2004, [1]The Domestic Goddess has been a cooking and writing website run by Jennifer Hamilton, who is unrelated to Roseanne.

[edit] Trivia

Nigella Lawson has also been nicknamed the "Domestic Goddess." She also wrote a cookbook entitled How to Be a Domestic Goddess.
