Product Description

Imagine this. Your man comes home from work and the kitchen’s clean, dinner’s done.

Enticed by the delicious aroma wafting from the slow cooker, he lifts the lid and takes a peek. Mmm, Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Gumbo, his favorite. He calls your name. You do not respond. Intrigued, he walks toward the bedroom, and finds the door slightly ajar. He pushes it open… what does he see?

1. You, curled up in bed, snoring softly under the covers. After a workday from hell, you crashed and burned knowing full-well dinner wouldn't.
2. No one. You’re doing the mall thing; he can grab a quick bite and pick up the kids at his mother’s.
3. A good-bye note. Having finally carried out your threat of walking out the door and never coming back, you prepared a nice meal in case you change your mind.
4. You, sprawled on the bed, wearing nothing but an apron. To you, the only thing more fun than making love is making love and dinner at the same time.

If you can see yourself in any of these scenarios, you'll love this book.

Laced with dozens of zingers on men, money, shopping, sex, and work, How to Make Love & Dinner at the Same Time offers 200 steamy recipes that require a half hour or less of preparation time, such as Caramelized Red Onion Dip; Chicken Bites in Thai Peanut Sause; Cream of Sweet Potato Soup; Steak and Orzo in Tomato-Oregano Sauce; Lemon-Garlic Chicken on a Vegetable Bed; Madame M’s Chocolate Upside-Down Cake.

From Publishers Weekly
Food writer and proud owner of five slow cookers, Jager blows the dust off of Grandma's favorite cooking device and tells working women how they can make "love-me-tender" meals that will bring husbands and boyfriends to their knees-all without spending more than 33 minutes (and, in some cases, less than seven) in the kitchen. Jager persuasively outlines the advantages of "doing it slowly" (saving on electricity, preparing meals the night before, etc.) and lays out her recipes in an accessible, course-by-course manner. The dishes range from the inventive (Prune Pockets Stuffed with Wild Rice and Smoked Turkey; Lamb in Ginger-Pear wine Sauce with Lima Beans) to the basic (Easy Corned Beef Brisket; Beef and Vegetable Stew), but all are guaranteed to leave the chef with plenty of time for other mouth-watering activities. Though geared more toward women, with its sassy girl talk sidebars, this book would also be a good companion for men looking for tasty recipes that are free of "fancy foreign f words like fricassee and flambe."
