A comic look at kitchens as they are

Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein turn the gap between the idealized home kitchen and everyday reality into a comics conversation. Their subjects range from neglected pantry shelves and unused utensils to recipes left unmade and the imagined perfection of a dream kitchen. The kitchen becomes a place to examine domestic expectations through cartoons, with household clutter and cleaning supplies among the details in view. The book’s humor rests on the contrast between the polished kitchen people are told to want and the less orderly spaces they actually inhabit.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults who enjoy humorous comics and cartoons
  • Readers interested in domestic life and the gap between household ideals and reality

Book overview

#1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Roz Chast teams up with her fellow NewYorker cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein to rip the Tupperware lid off what's really going on in their kitchens.

"I don't think I've ever laughed so hard." - Ruth Reichl

The kitchen is the "heart of the home," or at least it's supposed to be. But wait! What's that lurking under the sink? Behind the cabinets? In the back of the refrigerator?! When celebrated New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein confessed to each other that their kitchens were far from Martha Stewart perfect, they knew they couldn't be the only ones cracking under the pressure of their pressure cookers.

In The Two Saddest Kitchens, Roz and Jason combine their hilarious cartoon sensibilities to take (chicken) stock of everything from tragic pantries to the secret double life of Mr. Clean. Let Roz and Jason guide you through their divine kitchen comedy as they ponder the fancy utensils that will never be used, the recipes that will never be followed, and the dream kitchens that exist only on the astral plane, which is maybe for the best.
