Huh. So you disapprove of the "here's your cabinet of cheap ingredients and your budget for cooking" solution? That's really interesting. May I ask more about why?
(I mean, I don't disapprove of stopping the kid from using $100 of ingredients ever again. I boggle at how she MANAGED to unless she ruined a whole tenderloin. But I disapproved of the "stop experimenting in the kitchen" part of what the LW did and sympathize with how the kid may have felt "punished for doing something awesome". More on that later.)
