Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Whether you live in a basement with the income of a ten-year-old girl or on a saffron farm in the south of Spain, the spirit of hospitality is the same. It's the giving of yourself, a present of you to them from me for us."
Industry Reviews
"To fully appreciate the genius of Amy Sedaris' hilarious guide to the domestic arts, you need a taste of her hospitality wisdom. On composing the invite list: 'If the party is going to be made up of mostly young girls, then you might want to invite some old men. Nothing makes them feel more alive.'...[T]he best hostess gift on the planet."
