What do you do when you discover your true love is actually the brother you never knew you had? Or that your father is really your uncle and he's having an affair with your fiancée? If you happen to live in Genoa City, Wisconsin, the fictional locale for the daytime drama, The Young and the Restless, you might head over to Gina's Place for a comforting plate of Zucchini Frittata, or maybe you'd prefer to cry over an Iced Mocha at Crimson Lights Coffeehouse. Then again, if you go anywhere in Genoa City, you're sure to meet your ex-husband's third ex-wife, who also happens to be your stepsister and the woman who's had her eye on your boyfriend-cum-brother since you two met during a hostage situation at the courthouse all those weeks ago. So, maybe you'd better stay home and whip up that Huevos Rancheros recipe you'll find in the "Comfort Foods for Devastating Breakups" chapter of Cooking with the Young and the Restless instead.

In addition to cast pictures andinformation about the show's history, Cooking with the Young and the Restless contains more than 200 mouth-watering recipes from Genoa City's hottest restaurants as well as the special menus for special occasions such as Kay Chancellor's New Year's Eve party and Olivia and Malcolm's wedding reception. Fans of the show will enjoy reading up on their favorite characters' romantic tangles and personal triumphs and tragedies as they try out the dishes that keep the Newmans, the Abbotts, the Chancellors, and all the other citizens of Genoa City coming back for more.
