you start off with shallots, garlic, lemon zest, chili peppers and bay leaves. and you throw the whole thing in. nice and hot. and you want it nice and hot. you want to hear that sizzle. >> what kind of oil are you using? >> just a little bit of olive oil. you'll smell it straightaway. then i have some clams. >> those babies cook quickly. >> they do. you get the intense heat and turn it up nice and high. then a little of your favorite, white wine. that goes in. >> now it doesn't help if you put in expensive white wine, it doesn't help it one bit. >> no, it doesn't. >> don't waste it. >> you want to use a decent one. >> speaking of that, can you pass one of those? why wouldn't you -- >> you've been up since 3:00. so this is your happy hour. i don't want you to have to drink alone because it's rude. >> it is rude. those clams start to open up. once they do you remove them. okay in and you put them into a bowl just like this. and you're left with the juice, which is the white wine and the natural juices that came out of the clams. turn it right up so you get a

nice rapid boil on it. then i've cooked some whole wheat angel hair pasta. >> why whole wheat? >> it's healthier. >> it's fulfill antioxidants, full of minerals. there's a lot of health benefits. and we're keeping the portion reasonable. >> that's the problem, isn't it? >> well, there's eight ounces, for a portion of four. and then we're going to fill it up veggies. we've got lots of baby spinach. lots of baby spinach. we've got some radishes. and like i said you crank that heat right up. >> this is really good. >> once you sort of pick up the pasta over the spinach it will start to wilt down. >> it wouldn't take too much. >> and you get the clams back in. >> and then in literally a minute that pasta, which is warm or hot when you put it in, is heated right through and it's all come together. >> you never eat a clam or any shellfish that's not opened all the way, right? >> well, actually, that's not true, believe it or not. >> good. tell us why not. >> because -- >> because i hate wasting them.

>> you can break them open and eat them raw, in fact. all mollusks. whether it's an oifter, a mussel, or a clam they can all be eaten raw. it means you have to work a little harder -- >> but it didn't pop open for one reason. >> i always thought that's nature's way of saying, it's bad. don't eat it. >> the little clam is still in there holding on to its shell. >> you want somebody to call that might get -- i don't think you can -- >> we're going to come back to this one. i want to show you the desserts first because there's also a whole chapter in this new book about chocolate chunk and pecan cookies. this is a banana streusel which is inspired by -- sorry, a banana cream parfait with a ginger snap streusel -- >> i want to make a point about this cookie, it's filled with -- try a bite of it. >> i can't. >> try a bite. >> i can't start my monday like that. >> these are the most delicious cookies ever. curt curtis, we wish you good luck with the book. what's it called again? >> "what's for dinner: recipes for a busy life." >> we'll tell you how to get the guy you want.

here with advice on how to find mr. right is relationship expert matthew husse. >> he's a dating coach on the new nbc show, "ready for love" >> and the author of "get the guy: learn the secrets of the male mind, define the man you want and the love you deserve." >> wow. >> that's a mouthful. >> are you sure you can do that? >> yes. >> have you had a lot of success? >> i've spent the last five years coaching women in my company, get the guy. and i've coached 50,000 of them in seminars now. >> i bet they all want you. >> that's the trouble. >> right? what do you say when they get all love puppy face? >> i keep those parts of my life very separate. >> i bet you do, mr. hussey. >> now what do you do if women say this and i've heard this a lot and felt this, too. there are no great guys here. you know, i live here -- >> i've been through them all. >> that's gross. what you -- i was not thinking that at all. >> you know, you've tested the waters and there's nothing swimming. >> i'm actually going around the country right now doing these get the guy seminars and as i do, there's always a question i ask at the beginning. i say to the women in the room, how many guys do you meet in an

average week? now, most women think they're meeting guys, but when they answer the question honestly tharks betwe, they're between zero and one. and 90% of them are at zero. the question is not where do i go, it's how do i actually meet guys in my everyday life. >> so how do you? >> well, firstly, stop playing hard to get. hard to get doesn't work. it's been touted as something that works, but it's like dangling the string in front of the cat. as long as you're dangling the string, the cat goes craze i, the cat goes crazy, the cat goes crazy. then you drop the string and the cat goes, oh, it's a string. >> what you have to do? >> are men that shallow? >> here's what has to happen. women think they can't make the first move and they can. this is what i talk about in the book. women can be completely be proactive, they have to do it in a way that goes under the radar. >> and they have to be classy about it. >> for example, women think i'm old-fashioned, i don't make the move. women have been making the move for centuries. 100 years ago, a woman walked past a guy she was attracted to and drops her handkerchief, and keeps walking and the guy sees

it and thinks this is an extraordinary opportunity to be a man he picks it up and walks over and says ma'am, you dropped this -- >> that only happens in england. >> well, here's the thing. in that moment the guy is looking at the woman thinking oh, look at me, how great i am, i just made the move. he didn't make the move, she chose him. and what we do in this book -- >> what's today's equivalent of that? because nobody cares -- >> i'll give you right now. this is beautiful and elegant. it's asking a favor. there are eight words you can say to a guy that immediately create attraction. >> and they are -- and say it in your best english accent. >> you say, "i could really use your help with something." >> i bet you could. >> now -- >> that's eva longoria, by the way, back there laughing. >> this has gone downhill already. >> that's a good one, though. >> because it appeals to that manliness. >> it appeals to his provide and protect side where he says -- >> the knight in shining armor. >> you say i could really use your help with something.

he goes, anything. anything you want i'll do for you right now. >> unless he was a jerk and you would find out right now. >> and then you run. >> brilliant, isn't it? >> but then what do you ask for help for? >> let's say you're in a bar and you say, i could really use your help with something, can you hold my jacket for me while i give these drinks to my friends. you give your drinks to your friends, you come back, you take your jacket and you say thank you so much, how is your night going, anyway? >> you are great, hussey. >> wow, the hussey man. >> it's everything about finding, attracting, and keeping the guy -- >> you've got to come back and tell us how to keep. okay? >> tomorrow your bad beauty habits. >> we don't have any! felder. how do you end up in the eagles? >> wow, that's a really good question. behind the hotel crashing. chain saw.es his own jeff rocky ride to fame. breaking up as every hour.
