Book Reviews of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence
Book Review: The anti-Martha Stewart manifesto!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence
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! 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 an appendix chock-full of arts and crafts ideas (a mini pantihose plant-hanger), and much, much more!General Books
