Book Reviews of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence

Book Review: Please do not take this too seriously!
Summary: 4 Stars

"Quote from the cover"
I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
Amy Sedaris

This book is a spoof of Martha Stewart. She basically gives you bad advice on entertaining, if you do the opposite of everything she says you will be a hit at any party.
I tell you this, because my friend thought she was serious and took her advice word for word and is now is a social pariah.
However, the recipes are real and are great and easy to follow. The spinach pie is yummy. There alot of funny pictures in it and her color scheme is nice and refreshing.
She also has a snarky black sense of humour,(don't let your kids read it) some of which is a little racy and may offend some people. But, I love it so I enjoyed it.

Summary of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence

The bestselling entertaining guide from America's most delightfully unconventional hostess is now available in paperback!


Are you lacking direction in how to whip up a swanky soiree for lumberjacks? A dinner party for white-collar workers? A festive gathering for the grieving? Don't despair. Take a cue from entertaining expert Amy Sedaris and host an unforgettable fete that will have your guests raving. No matter the style or size of the gathering-from the straightforward to the bizarre-I LIKE YOU provides jackpot recipes and solid advice laced with Amy's blisteringly funny take on entertaining, plus four-color photos and enlightening sidebars on everything it takes to pull off a party with extraordinary flair. You don't even need to be a host or hostess to benefit-Amy offers tips for guests, too! (Number one: don't be fifteen minutes early.) Readers will discover unique dishes to serve alcoholics (Broiled Frozen Chicken Wings with Applesauce), the secret to a successful children's party (a half-hour time limit, games included), plus a whole appendix chock-full of arts and crafts ideas (from a mini-pantyhose plant-hanger to a do-it-yourself calf stretcher), and much, much more!
