Teri Hatcher Teaching Marcia Cross to Cook  7/1/06

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher missed her co-star Marcia Cross' wedding last weekend (24JUNE06) because she was out of the country, but is making up for it with lavish gifts.

Hatcher was away on a tropical holiday, but insists that she is making up for her absence by giving Cross kitchen appliances and personal cooking lessons.

She explains, "Emerson (her daughter) and I weren't able to go to her wedding because we were in the Bahamas.

"Marcia knew it was a trip we had planned before they picked their wedding date.

"So I told her that I was going to show up with tons of appliance wedding gifts and I'm going to teach her how to cook for her husband!"

Hatcher is known for being a gourmet chef and cooking for the show's cast and crew, but she may have a reluctant student in Cross.

When Cross was saying her wedding vows, she said 'I will' to everything, but added under her breath, "As long as I don't have to cook!"
