Publishers Text

Chefs are celebrities; "fresh," "regional," and "seasonal" are cuisine buzzwords; and cookware and cookbooks have never been hotter. So why are so many people proud to declare, "I can't cook!" Perhaps they feel betrayed by "simple" cookbooks full of exotic ingredients, high-concept food, and (sometimes) inedible results.


Cinda Chavich feels the pain. The Girl Can't Cook contains 250 no-fail recipes readers will actually want to make. After-work supper ideas include Thai Chicken and Noodle Salad, Salmon Steak on the Barbie, and Potato and Egg Frittata. The book also features easy party menus such as The Big Holiday Dinner with turkey and all the trimmings, Vegetarian Feast, and Summer Barbecue. To lure that special someone into your lair, try The Romantic Steak Dinner for Two with Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese Sauce, Baked Potatoes, and Strawberry and Yogurt Trifle.


Along with quick and easy recipes such as Pita Pizzas with Pesto and Parmigiano, and Guacamole, Cinda also provides a complete guide to stocking your pantry with great cheeses, oils, vinegars, and seasonings. A perfect gift for the young-and-not-so-culinarily-inclined, The Girl Can't Cook is the cookbook for fabulous kitchen goddesses in training everywhere.
