Andrea Sarvady

Laurel Glen Publishing, 2004

Hilarious and Witty
I picked this book up the other day, and all I can say is that you need to read it alone. I laughed out loud so many times that I had to keep on showing jokes to my girlfriend when she asked what was so funny. There are lots of books that make you laugh like this one. What makes this one special is that it manages to lampoon the kinds of people we all know (see the "Pets are People too ...

Finger Food: Bite-Sized Snacks to Share With Friends (Little Food Series)

5 reviews

Laurel Glen Publishing, 2002

Good Range
I've been looking for a good book of finger food for awhile and was happy to find this one. Usually, the recipes for finger food are too exotic or time comsuming, this book has a few of those but there are plenty that are not too complex. Finger Food also has a range of ethnic styles, such as Mexican, Asian & American flavored foods.

BEST BEAUTY BOOK
This was a great book; not only was it enjoyable to read, as Wendy had a conversation-like syntax, it had pretty illustrations, and most of all, I learned how to take care of my skin. When I was younger I always went to my mother complaining about a pimple, blemish, or stretch mark, and each time her response was rolling her eyes. After reading this book, I don't need to go to my mother like old ...

THE REAL MYSTERIES BEHIND AUTHENTIC ASIAN CUISINE

Nonya cooking, so Tan has taught me, is distinctly Southeast Asian, an exotic blend of ethnic Chinese and Singaporean, ...
