цитата

Элемент игры на двойственности слов все же присутствует.

Бешамель (соус) и шоколадный мусс, ну никак, не вяжутся с обычным рукопожатием

цитата heleknar

psw Потому что это именно "рукопожатия"

цитата

A secret handshake can also be a useful form of familiar interaction between friends, colleagues, and family members. As a form of cryptography, secret handshakes are shared only with select and elect peoples. Usually a secret handshake has underlying meanings that differ from person to person. Secret handshakes involve a precise, sometimes complex series of movements and contact between two individuals or even a group. Usually, these movements involve the primary use of hands, but could also involve a series of touching feet, elbows, or in some cultures a friendly kiss.

цитата

chicken breasts
Трудное для передачи место. В оригинале считывается намек на женскую грудь, chicken (чика) — молодая и привлекательная женщина. Цыпочка, по русски. Но "цыпочкина грудь" особо не скажешь, а в "куриной грудке" нет ничего скабрезного. У меня пока "сочная курочка".

eggbeater, pressure cooker and turkey baster — венчик, скороварка, устройство для сбрызгивания индейки
Усматриваете ли вы в этих словах некий сексуальный подтекст?

цитата SupeR_StaR

It was pointed out to the women, who by this time did not go into the kitchens at all on pain of being thought unfeminine, that chef after all means chief and that Mixmasters were common but no one had ever heard of a Mixmistress. Psychological articles began to appear in the magazines on the origin of women's kitchen envy and how it could be cured. Amputation of the tip of the tongue was recommended, and, as you know, became a widespread practice in the more advanced nations. If Nature had meant women to cook, it was said, God would have made carving knives round and with holes in them.

Удачи это перевести уважаемый переводчик :-)))

цитата Basstardo

В первом случае я оставил бы куриную грудку, ибо ассоциация грудка/грудь остается.
во втором — eggbeater — яйцевзбиватель, pressure cooker я заменил бы на "прожарку", а turkey baster — "залить кремом".
Может быть не дословно, но кулинарно/сексуальные ассоциации сохраняются.

цитата

Something went wrong, we don't know what. We think you should come down at once.

--Can't you do something? It isn't her, it isn't her! She looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy, she's all swollen up, I can't stand it!

--It's not bothering her, she's in a coma.

--I don't believe in comas! She can hear, she can see everything! If you're going to talk about death, let's go down to the coffee-shop.
