review 1: I almost loved this book. Really. It is funny and clever. It has lots of great housekeeping, decorating, and entertaining tips. Then she added some recipes. Her week night recipes were all pretty awful. I can't imagine serving some of those things to my family. No, thank you. Her entertaining recipes and short cut tips are far from short cuts! Her "easy" pantry list is miles long and so complicated. Caviar as a pantry staple? Really? You're gonna stand by that one? Her cheats for entertaining were way more than I ever do or would even consider. Her ideas for catering events are much more complicated than my from scratch home cooked meal. I'd hate to see her before she embraced the "good enough" life.
review 2: I got seventeen recipes that use a deli chicken out... more of this book and that is about it. Her language is abominable the whole time (yes, like, swearing) and intentionally or not, she makes herself sound like an alcoholic. She contradicts herself by saying "stop caring abou what other people think" and then giving tip after tip to put on the facade of being on top of things when you aren't. If us supermoms out there are going to cure our craziness, the only way is to allow the other moms in our self-appointed Mommy Competition see us without our hair done, with dirty dishes in the sink every once in a while. Stop the facade! Author Lisa Quinn made me promises she, ultimately, did't keep. less
