A Book in Review – I Like You

Book Count: 25

I Like You: Hospitality under the Influence By: Amy Sedaris
Non-fiction: how to, cooking, humor 299 pages 2006

One quarter of the way to 100!!!!
Anyway, about the book. This book was writing by the co creator/star of the show Strangers with Candy, so you would think that it is largely a humor book on throwing parties. But you would be wrong. This book has lots of good looking recipes and party ideas, factoids, and crafts mixed in with the humor. There are foods for all types of events including a large number of Greek recipes and tasty looking deserts and appetizers. It also has an informative section on rabbit care that you don’t get in most books on hospitality. The one downside to this book though, is that it is writing by someone that uses a less then detailed method of cooking, so some of the recipes are a little vague. (How much is “more flour then you think you’ll need”? a cup, a ton?)
