LOVE Amy! ^ I can't believe how great this book was. I finished it in 2 days, and within a week I had made her cupcakes, the buttercream frosting, the carrot cake and the pineapple upside down cake. Was also inspired to fry up fish for the guys. I love both Amy and David Sedaris! Loved Amy in "Strangers With Candy" and I love David's books. She's a nut but the coolest woman ever; I would love to meet her.
This item arrived very quickly and was shipped UPS, which I love because it provides a tracking number. I appreciate when sellers do these little things for their customers; I will definitely purchase from this seller again. Thank you very much, highly recommended A+++
repulsive ^ This book is repulsive and not funny. This girl has only been published becasue her brother is who he IS - a very funny individual. The food photos all look like vomit and and the recipes are old as the hills. What a waste of money. Go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army if you want to see some fun kitchy things - that's free and fun. They even sell old cookbooks for 50 cents! There is a lot of innapropriate and unrelated material. The back cover photo should actually be a BIG clue as to the content of this book. The name and concept behind the name is also stupid.
GREAT gift! ^ I have this book and it is hysterical! Amy Sedaris is a creative genius! I sent a copy to a friend who has been fighting a sickness for some time. She said it was SUCH a source of laughter for her! She loved it - and you know what they say? Laughter is the best medicine!
The anti-Martha Stewart manifesto! ^ Amy Sedaris is flipping hysterical. Plus, she can cook and likes to fold origami placesettings for her dinner parties. That, in my book, puts her high on my list of people I'd like to take to lunch.
I her book I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, Sedaris shares some great tips for hostesses, a wealth of menus and recipes, and some great party theme ideas. Even better - she does it with a liberal dose of humor for grown-ups.
It's a book you can read cover-to-cover or in short, easily digested segments. (No pun intended.) And if you love to host parties, she's a lot more palatable than Martha Stewart.
GREAT BOOK, probably not good to give Grandma. ^ Excellent, bitingly witty book (but not for the faint of heart). Some may call parts of this crude, I call it hillarious. If you know Amy Sedaris, then you're ready for a GREAT hospitality book care of Amy Sedaris's humor. Great recipes, good advise (worded like only she can). Good modern take on a hospitality book.
