Her whole thing was she didn’t get figures of speech or euphemism. If you tell her to “draw the drapes” she’ll get out a pencil and paper and start sketching the curtains. Which means she should be useless at baking, the second a recipe tells her to separate the eggs she’ll put one in the bedroom and one in the parlor.
I bet that whoever taught her how to bake gave her specific instructions without figures of speech, and maybe even rewrote recipes to be absolutely literal, then gave her the book of literal recipes. Which she follows with precision. Alternatively maybe she just memorised the recipes.
