Question 6

Why is it called "Blondes Can't Cook"?"

Accepted Answer

If you've taken a peek at the About Me page, perhaps you realized that I am, in fact, a blonde. Here's the story behind the name:
 
Some friends were over one evening for pizza and a movie. I was recounting a tantalizing interview I'd just had with a New York literary agent concerning my up-and-coming cookbook. "So I was telling her, that's how I ended up at a hole-in-the-wall empanada stand in the Dominican Republic at 11 o'clock at night, telling blonde jokes to a New Zealander!" I concluded.
 
I had just taken the result of a new recipe out of the oven when my husband said, "What is that? I thought you said we were having pizza."
 
"It is pizza," I replied. "It's pizza pull-apart bread."
 
A friend took one look at the steaming mass and said, "Blondes can't cook."
 
Amid the ensuing laughter, I wasn't upset - in fact, I thought, Eureka! That's the perfect name for my next cookbook - and the website that proceeds it.
