Rating: - What would happen if Martha Stewart took the stick out...
When opening your home to a guest, you are saying "I like you, I want you to be comfortable and happy. I like you."
This is the sentiment that runs through Amy Sedaris's cookbook.

I was disappointed when I received this book. The description said it was the hardcover version but neglected to mention that it was not the normal full size one with photos. The version I received was small & had no photos. I wish that I'd known more about the version of the book- I would not have ordered it had I known. Otherwise, the delivery was prompt & the book in good condition.
