INDESPENSIBLE
Entertaining can be fun, post hoc,, but the preparation can be rife with stress. Thankfully, Amy Sedaris has presented a helpful cookbook and entertaining guide to help one sort the ins and outs of entertaining and feeding guests you might like and those that you'd care never to enter your apartment.
Amy Sedaris is the sister of well-known author David Sedaris and the creator and star of "Strangers With Candy". We've met briefly a few times and she is absolutely fantastic and everything one would hope she'd be, i.e. she's a weirdo with a serious talent for cooking. She's also cute as hell.
Sedaris' new book is called I Like You, Hospitality Under the Influence. I paged through it yesterday and it lived up to all my expectations. Filled with hilarious graphics and asides, it just might be the funniest cookbook of all time. If Betty Crocker were a recovering pseudo-crack whore/successful actress, waitress, and whatnot, she would've been able to write this book. The Talent Family remains one of my favorites.
