Cool food for hot chicks

Do you spend all day juggling your work and social life? Do you want to get the girls round for a fantastic supper or cook a seductive meal but still eat healthily? Fortunately, help is at hand from a few names you just might recognize.

When she's in the mood for a light supper that has lots of flavour, Gwyneth Paltrow tucks into a spicy dish of marinated swordfish. And when Charlie Dimmock has friends over for dinner, she likes nothing more than a couple of big bowls of shrimps in sour cream.

After a hard day's training, Olympic athlete Denise Lewis knocks up a quick, light supper of Jamaican tilapia, while Ulrika Jonsson makes sure she doesn't spend her dinner parties in the kitchen by rustling up a simple roast lamb with redcurrant gravy.

So if these hard working girls can find time in their busy lives to cook up tasty and healthy dishes, so can you. At least, that's according to a couple of enterprising women who've written a cookbook for working girls who just want to have fun.

Cool Food for Hot Chicks is a funky collection of recipes 'just for the girls' by celebrity chef Louise Holland and PR guru Roberta Moore (daughter of the late footballing hero Bobby). With the help of their celebrity mates, these dinner party divas share their tips on everything from shooting cocktails and lining your stomach before a night out, to entertaining Adonis and dishing up comfort food when you're feeling down.

The recipes are healthy and simple, so even the busiest working girls have no excuse. Come on - if Denise Van Outen can get to grips with sausages, there should be no stopping you.
