If you can't cook but must cook, this book can help you cook -- and with style! The Girl Can't Cook is the modern woman's survival guide to life's cooking challenges, filled with recipes, menus and tips to make you look good when cooking is just not optional. Divided into three non-conventional but reality-friendly sections -- Sustenance, Decadence and Observance -- The Girl Can't Cook will take you from terrific Tuesday night noshes through weekend dinner dates, parties, holiday meals, and that social circuit that requires you to arrive bearing a fabulous salad or a decadent dessert. Award-winning food writer Cinda Chavich (a.k.a. The Girl) admits she began her career with no cooking skills. But years of hanging out in professional kitchens, researching recipes and writing about her passion has taught her a few tricks. She's proof that, with the right recipes and a little luck, even girls who can't cook can learn to impress anyone in the kitchen.
