I've been a fan of Hannah Hart and My Drunk Kitchen for years so I sort of knew what I would be getting into with this book. I had been expecting a more serious cookbook but I guess I wasn't entirely surprised when it turned out to be more of Hannah than recipes (although there were a few recipes I genuinely already make so that's pretty cool). This has a lot of really good advice focused mainly on accepting yourself for whoever you may be and embracing the lessons from when things go wrong. So if you're looking for a cookbook to plan a really high quality meal...this is probably not for you. If you're looking for some quality life advice and word hugs (like when you read and it feels like the book is giving you a hug) with some fun recipes, then yes, read this.

Not really a cookbook, even though it says it's a "guide to eating, drinking." Hannah Hart's comedy is better on video, because the jokes and weird asides don't translate well on text. I liked the memoir stuff the most because even though some of those stories had been mentioned on her channel before, the book goes into additional detail and actually seems less joke-y.

Hannah Hart is lovely, earnestly kind, and often hilarious, and when read in her voice, this is a great companion to my drunk kitchen. but I worry non-fans will just find super-gross recipes and sweet but insubstantial self-help suggestions.

So charming and funny. There is a lot of wisdom squeezed in between the puns and drunken recipes.

A fun collection of drunken musings disguised as a cookbook. Not quite as hilarious as the YouTube sensation, but it has its moments.

It was a cute and very cheesy at times. I liked it for the nostalgia and puns.

I've never seen an episode of My Drunk Kitchen. I know of Hannah Hart because of a Netflix documentary about YouTube stars. She seemed interesting, so I thought her book would be, too. Sad to say, her brand of humor just doesn’t quite hit the mark with me.
Of course I know this isn't an actual cookbook, so I'm not even going to review her recipes. The life lessons left me feeling meh. So there's that.

If you love Hannah Hart, then you will love this book. If you haven't seen My Drunk Kitchen, then you should go watch that like yesterday.
This book had such an authentic Harto voice that I felt like I could hear her audibly reading it to me. (I don't hear voices regularly.) The puns, the groan-inducing "dad jokes," the heart-felt but off topic ramblings, the humor-laced approach to talking about truly difficult topics... it was all there in copious amounts. I smiled a LOT. I laughed a little bit. I cried a little bit. (Let it be noted that my tears were over something really stupid and personally sentimental, so it's highly unlikely that you will also cry while reading this book). It was a good time.
The book was split up into 4 parts (Kitchen Basics, Adultolescence, So This is Love, and Family and the Holidays) each filled with several "recipes" to face a range of situations. Want to whip up some nostalgia with a twist that apparently tastes like Chinese food? Try "PB&J&PC." Getting over a breakup? Go straight to "Tear... Ah Miss You." Needing support to deal with a broken relationship with your parents? "Let's Get Grilled (about your life choices)" is great for you! Want to see a picture of Mamrie Hart with hashbrowns in her hair? Flip to page 86. Yeah. As silly as these recipes were, Hannah's introductions to each section were sweet, insightful, and (dare I say) hart-felt.
Ultimately, my enjoyment of the book was definitely enhanced by my enjoyment of Hannah. This book might not fit everyone's style of humor, but it's definitely something I'm happy to have experienced. :)

Easily the best cookbook I've read that really about being in your 20s and not quite having it all figured out. Also the only cookbook I've read that includes a recipe for ordering Thai takeout.
