The Pain of Cooking (signed)

(signed copy; ships week of August 17)

This is not a cookbook. It may look like a cookbook, but it's actually a bunch of humorous essays about cooking, and yes, there are lists of ingredients and vague instructions to whisk things, but you will learn nothing about cooking if you read this book. You WILL learn about the inner monologue of someone who is bad at cooking (but good at drinking), and much of the time that monologue is very loud and also fueled by wine. From making a plate explode in the microwave to somehow making ice cream taste burnt, this hilarious and heartfelt collection is guaranteed to make you feel better about your own cooking skills. You're welcome.
