Product Description
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!

This is actually a cookbook! January 7, 2009
I bought this for my husband, he loves Amy Sedaris. Well, Christmas morning I opened up the book and realized that is it a real cookbook! There are some very funny stories and party ideas.

Pure Amy Sedaris January 5, 2009

I loved this book. If you're a fan of Amy Sedaris, it's absolutely perfect and her humor.

I found the 1 star reviews here pretty hilarious. If you read the reviews and descriptions, or even google Amy Sedaris you're going to know immediately the kind of humor in a book like this. Who buys a cookbook online for friends without at least looking into the style of cook the author is? I think Amy would have found the review with the woman who bought several copies hilarious, as I did. :-)

This book is very funny and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Amy or that style of humor. It's politically incorrect, occasionally offensive and nothing you want the kids to see. Perfect!

It is called Hospitality Under the Influence Folks. Pay Attention. :-)

Quirky December 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This may prove to be the most difficult book I've ever reviewed. It's a cookbook with recipes such as Split Pea Soup, Yogurt Spaghetti, Southern Fried Chicken, Yorkshire Pudding, cakes for special occasions, assorted drinks, as well as instructions on party planning, conversation starters for blind dates, how to give yourself a breast exam, the art of putting on panty hose, and gift ideas for the elderly. Also included are craft ideas such as how to make a needle wallet, a paper clip necklace, brick bookends, and several other useless items. Anecdotes are sprinkled throughout. This might make a unique idea for a quirky hostess gift. Note: contains profanity.

Hilarious! December 12, 2008
This book is very funny! It not only gives actual recipes, but really explores the depths of parties and what could go wrong. There is some sarcasm in the book and it's def not the book you want to give to your grandmother. This isn't your classical cookbook, more of a humurous read that does have some recipes and party ideas mixed in. I am very pleased with my purchase and would def. recommend this book to any open minded gal who likes to entertain.

Totally Hilarious! December 9, 2008
The recipes in this book are nothing compared to the rest of the content which is completely hilarious! The book covers all kinds of hospitality, and beauty tips, as well as ridiculous illustrations and photos - all from the strange mind of Amy Sedaris! I gave this to my mother as a gift, and then we sat around for over an hour browsing it and cracking up!
