I like you: Hospitality Under the Influence
Amy Sedaris
Warner Books
If you’ve ever wondered what a cold-cut meat cake would look like, look no further. Best known as Strangers with Candy boozer, user and loser Jerri Blank, in real life, Amy Sedaris also sells cheeseballs and cupcakes. Really. Now you can too. Chock full of legit recipes, party tips and awesome photos of Sedaris rolling in various sugary condiments, this one’s a keeper. And unlike another celebrity book published this year that I really wanted to love (Hi-ho, Kermit the Frog’s Before You Leap: A Frog’s Eye View of Life’s Greatest Lessons), it’s actually useful. For example, learn how to clean up vomit stains—and if that doesn’t work, “just toss it, chances are you’ve stained it before.”
