Books: How to Entertain Low Lifes, Celebrities, Friends and Enemies

How to Entertain Low Lifes, Celebrities, Friends and Enemies by food writer Petrit Husenaj offers a tongue-in-cheek look at how to prepare some of the best food for a variety of individuals.

Using short humorous stories, Husenaj weaves in how-to chapters teaching anyone to prepare a feast to surprise a dinner guest and for which parents can (finally) be proud of their children. Husenaj's writing is sharp and the recipes hot as he shows young homemakers how to slice, dice and dazzle any house guest.  Even if they don't want to be in the home!

How to Entertain Low Lifes, Celebrities, Friends and Enemies features chapters on the most unlikely of dinner guests, including bosses, celebrities, lesbians, hipsters, gays, vegans, Ina Garten (based on an experience the writer had at her home), Bravo's Andy Cohen, comedienne Chelsea Handler and more.

Husenaj is a Los Angeles-based food writer from New York City, and has developed his irresistible recipes in a funny yet helpful ebook for anyone who needs a hand in entertaining, and also wants a good laugh.  The secret is a recipe that wows them, even when they don't even want to be in the home and might take pleasure laughing at the cook's expense.

“When I cook for my parents, I never spend a lot of money. Parents hate seeing their children spend money. What they want is to see me suffer. They want to know that I gave up drinking, partying and hanging out with my friends to cook them something that forced me to stay home the entire day,” Husenaj stated.
