Hospitality Under the Influence

Don't know how to throw a fancy party for lumberjacks? Or a dinner for white-collar workers? Or even a festive gathering for those in mourning? Don't worry! Take a page out of entertaining expert Amy Sedaris' book and host a memorable event that will leave your guests raving. Whether it's a straightforward gathering or something more unusual, I LIKE YOU has the perfect recipes and solid advice, along with Amy's hilariously funny take on entertaining. Complete with colorful photos and insightful sidebars, this book covers everything you need to pull off a party with extraordinary flair. And you don't need to be a host or hostess to benefit-Amy also offers tips for guests, such as not arriving fifteen minutes early. In addition to unique dishes for alcoholics, like Broiled Frozen Chicken Wings with Applesauce, the book also reveals the secret to a successful children's party (hint: set a half-hour time limit and include games), as well as a whole appendix filled with arts and crafts ideas, from a mini-pantyhose plant-hanger to a DIY calf stretcher, and much, much more!
