My Drunk Kitchen: A Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Going with Your Gut

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.

This My Drunk Kitchen comedic cookbook includes recipes, stories, full color photos, and drawings to inspire your own culinary adventures in tipsy cooking. It is also a collection of hilarious humor essays that showcase for Hannah Hart’s great comedic voice. Hannah offers key cocktail recipes, cooking tips (like, remember to turn the oven off when you go to bed) and shares never-before-seen funny 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 with its charming blend of wit and life advice.

“Hannah Hart is one of the smartest, funniest humans I know. She has done more than write a book- she has created a delightful hang-out in literary form. This book is my only friend now.” - Chris Hardwick, founder and CEO of Nerdist Industries

“Hannah’s writing is like cold, leftover fried rice for breakfast: unusual, cultural, and overall . . . really f-ing good.” - Grace Helbig, author of Grace's Guide and creator and star of YouTube's It's Grace

“Maybe cooking isn’t about creating culinarily perfect flavor art—maybe cooking is just part of living a life that you enjoy and that makes the world suck less. I’m not saying Hannah’s food isn’t good, but her ideas are butter...ahem...better.” - Hank Green, Vlogbrother

“I defy anyone to read this surprisingly useful book and not come away from it madly in love with Harto, hoping against hope that one day she will turn up, with alcohol and honesty and a heaped pile of humor, in your kitchen too.” - Neil Gaiman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane
