I have never watched Hannah Hart’s YouTube channel, in which she gets drunk and cooks things — although that does sound like fun. This book is not a cookbook, but rather a sort of rambling version of those videos (which presumably also ramble). She does include some recipes, but you’re not going to want to cook them, I promise. The puns are a lot of fun though, if you like your puns terrible and groan-worthy (as I do).
“What do you call it when you drink prison hooch out of a coffee cup? A mug shot.”
What started out as a joke for a friend back home, after a lonely Hart moved to NYC, has turned into the sort of YouTube sensation that I’ve never heard of, but apparently a lot of people enjoy. This book touches on her story, while offering recipes for things like “Saltine Nachos”, and recommendations for accompanying drinks. It’s funny, completely useless as a cookbook, and contains a great many puns. It also inspired me to finally hunt down a copy of Thug Kitchen.
Thug Kitchen is awesome.
Okay, but I cooked the pizza cake and IT WAS DELICIOUS.
That was the one recipe that caught my eye!
