"Whether you're a new bride or an old hand at marriage, it's always handy to find fresh and fascinating recipes to add to your repertoire. And the recipes in this collection are perfect for you, the busy, overextended, and occasionally conflicted modern wife. Enveloped in them are the secrets -- delicious, distressing, and everything in between -- that accompany women on their marital journeys. Here are recipes you won't find in just any cookbook: Beans 'n' Weenies of Sexual Tension, Midlife Stress-Stuffed Cabbage, Control-Freak Cookies, Soufflé of Fallen Expectations, A Fairly Satisfactory Family Stew. Though she grills societal norms with gleeful relish, Nava Atlas never loses sight of marriage's simple, loving rewards. The result is a feast of retro art, sly wit, and cultural commentary"--Cover blurb. A work of humor in the guise of a recipe book. Six signatures offset printed with humorous recipes, witty reflections on marriage, and vintage illustrations are adhesive-bound into an illustrated paper wrapper. Includes index.
