I Like You by Amy Sedaris
Subtitled “Hospitality Under the Influence”, this is a book on entertaining at home- sort of a cookbook, but not really. It’s written by comedienne Amy Sedaris, but it isn’t (and she states this quite clearly on the first page) a “fake cookbook”.
Amy’s Vanilla Cupcake recipe is one of the most popular ones online. I know, because I’ve made it. And it was good. Crazy good. Her recipes in this book may look zany but they’re very real, with bits of advice strewn throughout, like a list of Gift Ideas for Lumberjacks and gems like:
If you are anemic, eat out of a cast iron skillet.
The reason I recommend this book here is because somehow it reminds me of a food blog. Filled with personal stories, slices of life, interesting photos, and tried-and-tested recipes, it’s perfect reading for someone in a hurry, much like the typical blog reader.
