A Slob in the Kitchen
First to recommend
Description
Recipes, entertaining tips & humor from the former MTV VJ Karen Duffy. Love this book. The recipes are great, and I love her earthy approach to entertaining. There are lots of quirky bits in here, like a recipe for "gravy scented candles" to enhance the home-cooked atmosphere.
She rates her recipes according to difficulty. Only available 'used' on Amazon.
