Rocky road sweet potatoes. Chipotle-glazed chicken wings. Asian-y turkey burgers. Hungry yet? You will be after thumbing through "The Desperate Housewives Cookbook." The feisty girls of the popular primetime drama are offering up some scrumptious dishes in their new cookbook. Over 125 recipes are tailored especially for fans of Bree, Susan, Gabrielle, Lynette, Edie and their neighbors. Fans of the show will find recipes for all the foods made famous by the show, as well as many others inspired by each housewife. The recipes in the book “run the gamut of the cooking styles, cultures and abilities of the women of Wisteria Lane.” Feel like channeling the meticulous Bree Van De Kamp? Start by making lamb shanks osso bucco and ginger-spiked baby carrots. Do you prefer foolproof recipes? Try Susan Mayer’s newfangled noodle casserole, vegetarian chili or sloppy joes. Gabrielle Solis’ tastes include shrimp with chorizo and bell pepper, black bean soup, and sweet and tangy chicken stir-fry. Busy mother Lynette Scavo suggests stovetop-barbecued pork chops, do-ahead mushroom soufflé, and roasted asparagus with parmesan cheese. And spitfire Edie Britt’s recipes include oysters poached in champagne and cream and perfect crostini. There’s more. In addition to recipes from Mrs. Huber, Mrs. McCluskey and even Mike Delfino, there are plenty of deserts to make your mouth water. How about some chocolate-butterscotch bars, irresistible brownies or Wisteria Lane icebox napoleons? The cookbook is also peppered with sidebars containing items such as: emails from the housewives, character dialog, and even brewing the perfect cup of java. There is also a behind-the-scenes look at making the food on the show. Whatever your personality (or favorite housewife), "The Desperate Housewives Cookbook" is sure to cater to your needs. After all, who doesn’t want to try a little molten chocolate cake or rum-glazed roasted pineapple? Yummy!
