Ši knyga – šios savaitės atradimas. Iš „YouTube“ kanalo „MyHarto“ žinoma Hannah šiemet pristatė pirmąją knygą. Įdomu tai, kad pirmiau į mano akiratį pateko jos knyga, o ne jos video įrašai. Aš myliu maistą, mėgstu gaminti. Knygoje Hannah maisto gaminimo pamokas... Skaityti toliau: http://www.jauti.lt/tarp-lentynu-ii/

I wanted to love this book, since I really enjoy some of Hannah Hart's youtube videos (myharto), but it fell a bit flat for me. My favorite videos of Hannah are when she is doing things completely wrong in the kitchen, riffing off of a guest star with her non-stop puns. What I don't enjoy so much are the self-help type videos, and this book is a big self-help vlog put on paper. Lots of pictures of Hannah doing bad things to food, interspersed with bits of autobiography and commentary on life. I'm probably not the audience she is trying to reach with this work, so other people would probably enjoy this more (and have, based on the other reviews here).

Being a fan of John Green, I had heard of Hannah Hart, but never went to Youtube to find out anything about her. I don't spend a lot of time on Youtube, and I didn't really know what her channel was about. But when I saw this available on Edelweiss, I really was excited to check it out. Plus I do love a good cookbook.

I'm disappointed. Not in the recipes, mind you. While they're intensely unconventional (and most aren't, in fact, real recipes), I actually did see a few that made me pause and think, "Ooh. That sounds good. And tasty." It may be the sleep deprivation I've been dealing with, though.

I feel about this book what I feel about most Youtube channels. One video may be insanely hilarious and delightful, but sitting and watching the entire channel all the way through is going to make your eyes glaze over. The idea of watching back-to-back Jenna Marbles videos makes me want death by paper cuts, and I frigging love some of her stuff.

This is the paper (or ebook, as it were) version of a Youtube channel. Not to be taken in one sitting. The further I got in, I stopped giggling out loud. I started rolling my eyes. If it wasn't a real recipe, I didn't want to be bothered reading the ingredients list (even though there were really awesome jokes still being mixed in).

The motivational bits were fun, and funny, and occasionally actually motivational and touching. But again, as with every cocktail listed in the book, moderation is needed.

I do think I would still like to own this book, and I would store it on my cookbook shelf. But I don't recommend picking it up and just reading it as a regular book. Don't chow, just nibble.

Hilarious, but I think you need to be a fan of MDK on YouTube to be able to "hear" what she is saying, and get all the puns and inside jokes. There is not a single usable recipe (at least for me) anywhere in this book, as all but one I can think of contain highly processed food. But it is crazy funny and has some great ideas about being a young adult and living your life. I particularly liked her instructions for making scrambled eggs - "Step one: Try to make an Omelet. Step two: Give up."

To be perfectly honest I did think that this was a full cookbook with lots of recipes and pictures. This is not that type of book. It is more of a play by play rulebook to different stages of life:Making the Most of What you Got, Adultolescence, Relationship, and Family and Holidays. Also, Hannah teaches you how you can cope with it in a fun way with food and alcohol. Don't forget the alcohol! Reading this book it appears that Hannah's logic is "Everything just seems to go better with alcohol". However you may want to start the drinking after you have finished preparing your food. I say preparing as some dishes do not require cooking. Pretty much anyone who had little to no cooking experience can make these dishes.

What I did like the most about this book was Hannah's witty humor. It showed in her stories by the way she talked and the pictures featured through out this book.

Find this at your library and borrow the heck out of it, and then maybe buy yourself a copy if you need to know how to make sushi out of tortillas or shots out of hash browns.

Want a recipe for every situation. Check with Hannah. She's got a solution for you

Oh?! You actually want to cook food? Yeah, no, this book isn't what you are looking for.

Are you a well established human being with cooking skills and dish sets and favorite recipes? You might not love this book. But then again you might look at Hannah as a brave young you, you wish you were. Or maybe you were?!

You know what, just read it. It will take approximately 30 seconds to get through the book (give or take a day or so depending on the amount of free time you have devoted to the beauty that is reading) and I GUARANTEE you will smile or snicker at least once.

Please note: guarantee is not-actually-worth anything. If you are completely abhorred by Hannah (what?!) and you have a steel heart and cold water running through your veins, an you actually didn't snicker, smile or smirk once during your mental consumption of "my drunk kitchen" may I extend to you my deepest (I'm reaching deep down for this) "huh? Odd."

Why are you still here? Go get the book!!

Hilarious, sweet, nonjudgemental, and inspiring. I don't have to be the queen of Pinterest to be a creative person, I don't even have to put my wine glass down! Thanks, Hannah! (since reading the book we're now on a first name basis, dear friend.)
