Spicy. Sweet. Tasty. Tart. No . . . were not talking about the lovely ladies of Wisteria Lane, but their cooking. Bree, Susan, Lynette, and Gabrielle may not be traditional housewives, but they do have their special talents in the kitchen. In The Desperate Housewives Cookbook, they share those recipes . . . and so much more!Tune in to ABC's monster hit Desperate Housewives on any given Sunday night, and youll salivate over everything from Bree's ber-gourmet repasts to Susan's what's-a-spatula simple suppers. They may have wildly different personalities and story lines, but if there's one thing the four heroines have in common, it's food. In The Desperate Housewives Cookbook, the show's millions of fans will find recipes for all the foods made famous by the show, as well as many others inspired by each housewife. For example:
-Bree's elegant, impressive dinners feature dishes like Basil Pure Soup, Braised Duck, and Chicken Cutlets Saltimbocca.
-Lynette's time-challenged lifestyle leads to quick, healthy, everyday fare like French Toast for Breakfast (or Dinner) with Blueberry Syrup; Warm Turkey, Muenster, and Coleslaw Wraps; and Potato Casserole.
-Susan's lack of kitchen skills means that her dishes are of the couldnt-be-simpler (but still mouthwatering) variety, like a Salad of Roasted Peppers, Fresh Mozzarella, and Arugula; Foolproof Macaroni and Cheese; Chocolate Butterscotch Bars; and Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
-Gabrielle enjoys the finest things in life -- and food is no exception. Her meals are gourmet, and most definitely prepared by a personal chef. Her faves include Shrimp with Chorizo and Red Pepper, Guacamole with Warm Chips, and Pineapple-Peach Smoothies.
-Edie uses food for seduction as much as for sustenance. Her sensual favorites include Oysters Poached in Champagne and Cream, Sausage Puttanesca, and Ambrosia.

Desde las fastuosas cenas de Bree, o la tradicionalmente incomestible Pasta con queso de Susan hasta las Quesadillas de Gabrielle, pasando por el Pollo frito de Lynette, la comida en Wisteria Lane esta siempre presente, pues cada episodio incluye algun elemento gastronomico. El libro Mujeres desesperadas. Libro de cocina contiene todas aquellas recetas que se han hecho famosas a traves de la serie ademas de otras inspiradas en sus protagonistas. Si bien algunas recetas son por pura complacencia, la mayoria son sanas y ligeras en grasas porque, afrontemoslo, quien no quiere parecerse a una mujer desesperada? Bree Van De Kamp tiene la cocina mas inmaculada, mejor ordenada y mas usada de Wisteria Lane. Sus utensilios la definen como una mujer que vive y respeta la gastronomia en relacion tanto con el sabor como con la presentacion. Susan Mayer tiene habilidades culinarias limitadas, aunque siempre esta deseosa de probar cosas nuevas. Tiene debilidad por la cocina, donde pasa innumerables horas, pero sus desvelos no se ven recompensados. En realidad, cuanto mas tiempo dedica a cocinar, mas desastroso es el resultado. A pesar de estar tan ocupada, a Lynette Scavo todavia le queda algun tiempo para preparar platos exoticos y de buena cocina, pero si no puede, tambien esta contenta si es capaz de sacar a la mesa algun plato precocinado o que ha comprado mientras iba de camino de la oficina a casa. Gabrielle Solis disfruta con la alta cocina, pero le molesta el arduo proceso que conlleva prepararla ella misma. Aunque es la que pasa mas tiempo en su casa, nunca se ha sentido a gusto en la cocina. Se decanta por recetas sencillas y saludables que pueda confeccionar ella misma.
