Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife

Flavored with frustration, simmering with rage, and iced with affection, these "recipes" will make you laugh as you multitask your way through the challenges and joys of matrimony.

The "recipes" in this fabulous fifties faux cookbook 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. No woman will be able to read this without thinking of five friends she must share it with!
