Summary: A Happy Gift
Comment: This book was given to me by my sheep shearer after my mom died. I was sad and she knew I needed to smile again. And smile I did. And share I have with others needing to smile. (actually - laugh out loud). I read it out loud to my husband and he laughed with me. I am again ordering 3 more. Friends keep wanting to borrow my copy, so I keep them on hand to give away. It helps that the recipes are really good. My husband loves the Margarita recipe best. We have tried many of the recipes and been pleasantly surprised that they are each keepers, and become regulars on our menus. I would not be without this cookbook, read it again and laugh again each time.

Summary: LOOOORD have MEERRRCY !!!!! A MOST YUMMISH BOOK!!!
Comment: Hey this skinny melinky kid from the Bronx (me) laughed myself silly through 3 or 4 commutes to and from work-- loving this book!
You can BET I'm gonna make (and eat and G-d help whoever tries to take a portion of it from me!) all of those recipes -- especially that Hostess Twinky Pie!
A great book with irreverent wit, humor, great cuss words, sensitivity in the right places and a Boe-Day-Shuss (hey I'm from the Bronx -- we can't spell Southern words) outlook on life and..... foodies!!

Summary: This is not your normal cookbook, great gift
Comment: I bought this book after I seen the title and browsed at it and had to buy it, I love the ladies who wrote this, just like being with a friend, hillarious (if I spelled that right!) The recipes are fantastic, like "Pig Candy" its really good!!!!! You cooks know what you are doing when you make a recipe, including licking the spoon, eating half the batter etc. "NO PLAIN, PLENTY GAIN COFFEE CAKE!!, my favorite expression in the recipes is "One running over teaspoon of vanilla" and a recipe for "Actual Apple Cake" plus all their little stories and funny stuff, this is a great gift for the person who cooks and has a sense of humor, and surely will make some of the recipes, No Fat Free recipes are included I believe, or they would never had wrote the book. If you know a person who cooks, and is funny, this is a great funny recipe book

Summary: different
Comment: The book is funny at points. I expected more recipes. I listened to the audio version, read by the author herself. She employs liberal use of the callback, so much so that she latches on to a few key phrases and repeats them to the point of browbeating. The recipes are sickening. I could barely stand to listen. If those women actually eat that way, it's no wonder they are all saving for lipsuction. If I heard her say "one runningoverteaspoon of vanilla" one more time, I was gonna find her and punch her in the face. Just say a teaspoon and a half of vanilla! The part about her mother having a stroke makes her seem incredibly selfish and coldhearted. Maybe being dispassionate is just her way of coping.
