"DesperateHousewives" news and stories

I don't really watch Desperate Housewives, yet I am surprised that they have put out a cookbook for the show. From what I gather, despite the fact that the show is about housewives, not all that much cooking goes on. That being said, The Desperate Housewives Cookbook: Juicy Dishes and Saucy Bits is a pretty entertaining book. It is divided up into sections with recipes based on the personalities of each character and what she is likely to cook. For example, Susan (Teri Hatcher) doesn't have strong kitchen skills, so her recipes are of the easier variety, including Foolproof Macaroni and Cheese, Chocolate Butterscotch Bars, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Gabrielle (Eva Longoria), on the other hand, is more of a gourmet, and creates slightly more complex recipes, often with a tropical/spicy flair, like Shrimp with Chorizo and Red Pepper. You can use the book to cook a theme dinner (like you might do with the Soprano's cookbook) or just enjoy a dish on a regular evening.
