You've Had Worse Things in Your Mouth

I have owned this cookbook since it came out, I think. It's divided into four categories, which I know by heart: Seduction, Motive, Destitution, and Revenge. Awesome. Hilarious. The Wasabi and peanut butter sandwich is inspired - her best "revenge" recipe!

If you are lucky enough to find a copy of this book you'll not only find yourself picking it up and flipping through it on a monthly basis for the rest of your life, you'll also find yourself unable to resist sharing the book--and perhaps the dishes--with friends. A completely unique cookbook. Billi Gordon is a robust, blessedly rubenesque, extremely attractive black woman who has earned the nickname "the living Mannequin" for her skill at modeling and entertaining. The photography is as worthwhile, entertaining, and hilarious as the text. No ethnicity or other category of person is left unmocked in this book, and... Oh for pete's sake; get a copy. You won't regret it, and you'll probably end up looking for copies to give as gifts like I am.

Someone brought this book to work about 12 or so years ago. I couldn't put it down. I laughed until I cried for hours. I hurt I laughed so hard. I copied my favorite chapters and kept it for those days when I felt down and blue. No matter how sad I felt, after reading it I would be in tears laughing again. It is a cookbook based on the stages of a woman's realtionship with a man. It is gut wrenching funny!
