Synopsis

In BEAT THIS!, Hodgman taunted readers: "Are your recipes better than mine? I can't believe it. But if you think your potato salad will make me lie down and dry with shame, send in the recipe." Now Hodgeman presents the winners - including a potato salad that did beat hers. Chockablock with Hodgman's witticisms and pronouncements, this book will have readers laughing aloud as they turn out unbeatable dishes.

About this title

From Library Journal:

Irreverent and witty, Beat That! is one of the most amusing cookbooks I've ever read?and it's full of delicious, mouthwatering recipes besides. Hodgman, author of Beat This! (Chapters, 1993), promises "the very, very best recipe" for more than 100 favorite dishes from apple crisp to waffles, and she makes a pretty convincing case with such recipes as Party Shrimp, The Roast Beef, and Kurt's Potato Salad. Food police beware: she likes bacon, butter and cream, and, especially, desserts (but she doesn't eat that way all the time). With its irresistible recipes and its irresistible prose (her introduction to vegetables alone is practically worth the price of the book), this unusual cookbook is highly recommended.
