The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine: Perfect Recipes for Spicing Up Your Love Life

by Shakara Bridgers, Jeniece Isley, Joan A. Davis

In Life, Get ' Em Girls Always Go After What They Want...

You know a Get 'Em Girl when you see one. She's got it together: great job, nice friends, and plenty of style. But when it comes to love, not all Get 'Em Girls have it figured out.

While some may think it's a cliché, maybe the way to a lover's heart is still through his stomach. But who has time to be chained to a stove? Just like having an extra job skill can help you get hired, someone willing to invest a little time and energy into a relationship definitely stands out in a crowded dating field.

The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine features over 120 easy and delicious recipes that reflect the authors' southern-girl-in-the-big-city upbringings and will complement every stage of a growing relationship:

"Grown 'n' Sexy" desserts meant for sharing The first "Morning After" Breakfast The "Bring Him Back" Chicken Soup when he's sick "Meet the Parents" Carrot Cake and much more!

Whether planning an intimate dinner for two or a down-home feast reminiscent of Mama's Sunday dinner, The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine is filled with helpful tips, from stocking the pantry, to selecting wine, and even dating advice!

Cooking for a lover can be more meaningful (and cheaper) than dining out. But this is about more than just the food: it's about women investing in themselves and in their relationships. For all the women who aren't afraid to go after what they want, The Get 'Em Girls' Guide to the Power of Cuisine is a must-have in their kitchens!

Love these recipes. In addition the book is well written, funny and organized well. New go to recipe book.

Had some okay recipes, was mostly southern American food. This is meant to be a funny, light hearted book, not serious advice, and I think it accomplishes that.

I picked up this book because it was intended to be easy recipes and because it had a section of nice pictures. I didn't end up liking it much though because the recipes were not my style. Of the foods listed, the only ones that sounded like something I would make, were things I already have good recipes for.

Summary: Ok book, food not my style

this book helped me with xmas dinner! It kept me entertained in between the prep/waiting process with cute tips on creating the perfect evening for that special someone. The recipes were easy to understand (I'm a beginner in the kitchen)and my dinner came out great!

The Get Em Girls have just signed with "Simon & Schuster". Be on the lookout for their next book (this fall)...!
