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.
