Book Description

Publication Date: April 1 2004

Chefs are becoming celebrities, and there are more cooking shows and cookbooks available than ever before. So why do so many people still declare, "I can't cook!"? Complex recipes, hard-to-find ingredients, and glossy food photography can intimidate and frustrate beginner cooks. Cinda Chavich feels your pain and gives you over 250 no-fail recipes you will love to make. Divided into three sections -- Sustenance, Decadence, and Observance -- recipes range from after-work supper ideas such as Easy Thai Chicken Salad, and Barbecue Pork Tenderloin to party menus such as Fondue Party, the PC Vegetarian Feast, and Baby Shower Buffet. The Valentine's Day Dinner with Seared Scallops in Champagne Sauce and Lamb Chops with Mustard Rub lets you pull out all the stops for that special someone. A perfect gift for the young-and-not-so-culinary-inclined, The Girl Can't Cook is the cookbook for fabulous kitchen goddesses in training everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars I use this book all the time April 3 2005
By Charity
This is the ideal book for people who love and don't love to cook. The recipes are straight foward and the ingredients are easy to find (or substitute.) I have not had a bad recipe from the book yet and have bought copies for friends and family. Unlike most general cook books The Girl Can't Cook has a touch of elegance but nothing to be intimidated by. Every recipe is simple and fail safe. A must have in any cook book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please make another one!!! Jan 5 2010
By Suzanna J. Kelly
This book guided me through my first turkey dinner from appetizers to dessert and everything in between with rave reviews from my turkey gobbling family and friends. I have scoured the pages of this book and tried almost 1/2 the recipes. I really REALLY wish she would make a sequel to my favorite secret weapon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!! April 21 2008
By Chapina
My family might laugh at me for using a cookbook with such a telling title, but they're not complaining about my cooking! I have enjoyed all of the recipies I've tried and my dad said the ginger cookies I made were the best he has ever tasted. Not bad, for a girl who really can't cook.
