REALLY GREAT PRESENT ALERT --
I just received this today, or I would have mentioned it sooner:
If you are still
desperately searching for a great
Mom/Wife-type gift for any of the women on your List, check out
THE DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES COOKBOOK: Juicy Dishes and Saucy Bits. It's campy enough, and priced right, to be perfect for just about any thirty-, forty-, or fiftysomething woman (or man!), particularly if she (he) is a DH fan.
Yes, it's a theme that might soon be
so yesterday (and, really, isn't that part of the definition of being a Mom?!), but I can admit it: I still like the show! Still, I was hesitant about the cookbook. I'd be hesitant about
any cookbook, as I told the publisher rep (who offered several different cookbooks for review, noting:
"These are different from what I have usually pitched you, but I thought the titles may be fun to share with your readers..."):
"I was starting to type "No, Thank You!" with the mere mention of cooking/cookbooks (shudder)(I keep all my take-out menus on that shelf!), BUT I think we could definitely do something fun with THE DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES COOKBOOK. I am a Susan/Lynette -- and a big fan of the show. Please send!"
I'm looking at the book now, and it's great as a legitimate cookbook, large and sturdy, with lots of great pictures and an excellent range of recipes, from Bree-complicated to Lynette-quick & healthy to Susan-foolproof (my kind of cooking!). There are also pictures from the show and profiles, DH background and insider's info (but not
too much).
THE DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES COOKBOOK is a fun DH fix to have around between Sundays!
