About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
One day, sad cubicle dweller and otherwise bored New York transplant Hannah Hart decided, as a joke, to make a fake cooking show for her friend back in California. She turned on the camera, pulled out some bread and cheese, and then, as one does, started drinking. (Doesn't everyone cook with a spoon in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other?) The video went viral and an online sensation was born.
My Drunk Kitchen includes recipes, stories, full color photos, and drawings to inspire your own culinary adventures in tipsy cooking. It is also a showcase for Hannah Hart's great comedic voice. Hannah offers key drink recommendations, cooking tips (like, remember to turn the oven off when you go to bed) and shares never-before-seen recipes such as:
- The Hartwich (Knowledge is ingenuity! Learn from the past!)
- Can Bake (Inventing things is hard! You don't have to start from scratch!)
- Latke Shotkas (Plan ahead to avoid a night of dread!)
- Tiny Sandwiches (Size doesn't matter! Aim to satisfy.)
- Saltine Nachos (It's not about resources! It's about being resourceful.)
This is a book for anyone who believes they have what it takes to make a soufflé for the holiday party and show up the person who apparently has nothing better to do than bake things from scratch. It also recommends the drink you'll need to accompany any endeavor of this magnitude. In the end, My Drunk Kitchen may not be your go-to guide for your next dinner party . . . but it will make you laugh and drink . . . I mean think . . . about life.

Reviews for My Drunk Kitchen

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Like a bar of fancy dark chocolate, I savored this book over a long time. Hannah Hart is a great comedian, but she also has some good, hard-earned life advice. It felt a little weird to be taking advice from someone now much older than me, but she obviously has a lot of life experience.
This book was funny, and not all the recipes sounded completely ridiculous. Well. They all sounded ridiculous because of the puns. But not all of them sounded completely inedible. How’s that for a ringing endorsement of a cookbook?
If you need an idea of what to eat tonight, look in here. You might find an idea for some kind of food, but you will probably forget you are hungry because you are laughing and completely absorbed by the crazy shenanigans and hypotheticals Hannah Hart throws your way. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hannah Hart is a voice that should not be ignored. Through a sense of humor that is based largely on wordplay and puns--my favorite kind of humor--she explores life and all the crazy things that make it up with poignancy, grace, and penis jokes.
Definitely worth reading, owning, and revisiting regularly. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you read this book because you want to learn anything about cooking, you are going to have a bad time.However, that does not mean you should not read it. You just need to go in with the right mindset. Some of these recipes I would consider trying (Guaca-hole-y) while others are a big fat NO (the infamous Saltine Nachos). Still others aren't even recipes at all, but excuses to make puns (Scotch Egg) or as metaphors for life lessons (Pattycake). This is basically a self help book on living your life with a little bit of cooking thrown in. It contains Hart's well known wit and love for puns, creating a hilarious and simple read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can safely say that it is the most entertaining cookbook I will ever read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5To be perfectly honest I did think that this was a full cookbook with lots of recipes and pictures. This is not that type of book. It is more of a play by play rulebook to different stages of life:Making the Most of What you Got, Adultolescence, Relationship, and Family and Holidays. Also, Hannah teaches you how you can cope with it in a fun way with food and alcohol. Don't forget the alcohol! Reading this book it appears that Hannah's logic is "Everything just seems to go better with alcohol". However you may want to start the drinking after you have finished preparing your food. I say preparing as some dishes do not require cooking. Pretty much anyone who had little to no cooking experience can make these dishes. What I did like the most about this book was Hannah's witty humor. It showed in her stories by the way she talked and the pictures featured through out this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wasn't completely sure what to expect from this book. I mean, I know the show, and I know Hannah's style, but how would that translate into book form? Was this just going to be a biography? Was it going to be a rehashing (hey, food related punnery, how appropriate!) of dishes she had concocted in her videos? Nope.You know what this book is? This book is magic.And not magic in the spells and potions sense (although, how cool would that be?), but magic in that it just makes your heart happy reading it. Hannah has that effect, which is why an idea that started as something she did for fun when she was drunk one night has turned into what it has, magic. Magic, and happiness, and good times with good food, and often, good people.With a mix of mildly questionable but interesting recipes, humor, and a few dollops (did it again!) of life advice, this book could find a happy home with anyone.Seriously, just give it a read. I bet you'll be glad you did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not really a cookbook as much as a comedy/advice book modeled as one. Laughed out loud while reading it alone in my kitchen, and read it cover to cover in one sitting.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Now this was a cookbook I can get behind! Mostly because it's not really about cooking, at all. Not in the conventional sense at least. Hart brings her characteristic sense of heart and humor to this book, blending "recipes" with life lessons, most of which she's learned the hard way. The result is a fun book that is inspiring but not preachy, funny, and, of course, punny.
I also loved that after each recipe section, she provided a re-cap, explaining what each recipe was REALLY about...whether it be spicing up a relationship, siblings getting along, or accepting yourself. I thought it was a really creative, enjoyable book, well worth the time I spent reading it. It really just made me appreciate Hart more than I already do. And it made me want to run and watch My Drunk Kitchen a bit more :) - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is actually a funny self help book rather then a cook book and shame on all the libraries that cataloged it as a cook book. A lot of the advice is good and it's pretty funny but for whatever reason I just couldn't really get into it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just when I thought I couldn't love Hannah anymore than I already did. It had been at least 2 years since I physically laughed out loud while reading a book, but she did it for me. This book had me in laughing fits while somehow, at the same time, made me really look at my life and view things differently. Rollplay was my absolute favorite page, once I finally stopped laughing after reading the page the first time I just had to go back and read it again. The foreword by John Green was beautifully written and couldn't have better described how wonderful of a person Hannah is. Here's a few of my favorite quotes:•You think that a delicious jelly snack is ever crippled by self-doubt? Nope. And you shouldn't be either. •The key to being self-sufficient is abandoning desire. •They say that's when it happens. That when you stop looking for love, then love will find you. But if that doesn't work then there's always online dating. •If you marinate in negative thought, you may just become a bitter regret stew that nobody will ever want to eat again!
