Funny but I'm vegetarian so most of the recipes didn't apply or appeal to me. Hence the two stars.

It's funny. Not something I would have read if it wasn't for her doing it. That is all thx

Not going to rate this with stars. It's just not a book I would like because I am allergic to other people in a party setting. I didn't finish it though I could see its entertainment value.

I like the idea of Amy Seders sending up Martha Stewart much better than the reality. Don't get me wrong, so of this book is very funny. But I found myself out of sync with her sense of humor on more than one occasion. Despite that, I would give anything to be a guest at one of her parties. It wouldn't be boring
