INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Stephen and Evie Colbert invite you to pull up a chair as
they share their favorite recipes from family and friends and offer a glimpse of food and fun
in their South Carolina home. "Hopefully reading this book and cooking these recipes will
feel like hanging out with us at home. We basically live in the kitchen anyway." -Evie and
Stephen Colbert As Evie and Stephen explain it Does This Taste Funny? had its beginnings in
the Covid lockdown. "We were all stuck together and couldn't go out so we cooked. We had all
three kids back under one roof for the first time in a long time and we had dinner each night
as a family. Cooking together became a major source of entertainment." Now the Colberts
invite us into their kitchen and around their dining room table. Sharing Stephen and Evie's
favorite recipes as well as those of their family and friends this book offers everything
from Party Food (called "party food" because "appetizers" implies something to follow when we
all know that often this is the only course) to Seafood to Poultry and Meat ("Evie and I
have different relationships to meat. I like it. Evie can take it or leave it and mostly she
leaves it.") to Desserts ("This is one of the largest sections of the book. Evie always
reminds me that desserts are a great way to postpone clearing up.") to Drinks ("I love
cocktail hour. It feels like a reward for having gone so long without a cocktail") all tied
together with playful dialogue between Stephen and Evie and gorgeous shots of their food
family and home.
