I Like You by Amy Sedaris
4.0
I mean, it's a weird book. This is a cookbook, sort of? But like a comedy cookbook that's meant to sound like it was written by a hypomanic alcoholic rabbit-lady with delusions of domestic godliness. Which, being familiar with Amy's work, maybe it actually was? Which is just what I liked about it.
From the bizarre drawings and diagrams, half-baked instructions that sound like something your drunk aunt texted to you that you now have to figure out, to totally socially inappropriate (and yet often brutally honest) advice about sensitive social situations... It's great at what it's trying to do.
For example, the recipe for Steamed Carrots: "Put carrots in a steamer and steam." The end!
Other recipes are more complex but will include vagaries like "I don't know what temperature," or "Until it looks like it's supposed to."
