I love Schitt's Creek so I had to grab this one when I saw it. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Full of great illustrations and connections to the show. If you are a Schitt's Creek fan, you will love this. I loved how easy it was to follow and flip through as well as relate to the show.

Great read!

This was very cute but not what I was expecting lol. I would’ve liked a more in depth look into the show rather than just ways to throw different events. There were references throughout that will only be understood by someone who has seen the show and I did enjoy that! Not necessarily something I’ll pick back up again, except maybe for the recipes 😄

I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. (The version I read was a finished copy.)

Just like it says on the cover, FOLD IN THE CHEESE is definitely for fans of Schitt's Creek. This book was fun to read because it drew from specific events and scenes from Schitt's Creek - one of my all-time favorite shows. The book shares the hits and misses of being a hospitable host and preparing for events that people will remember.

I read this book while preparing for an annual work event and it was a great reminder that not every event is perfect - don't stress over making it perfect - most people don't notice the little mishaps. Just go with it and have fun.

I loved the various events featured like the housewarming party and the baby shower hosting how-to, but my favorite events focused on food and family especially the chapter BACKYARD BARBECUE. BEYOND THE GRILL provided the absolute best advice - Offering a Smattering of Sides. "The important thing is to have something for everyone and fully embrace the abundance of comfort food. You never know who'll need it."

FOLD IN THE CHEESE cracked me up and made me want to watch all things David and Alexis.

And best of all, it features my personal favorite meatloaf recipe.

This is a really cute homage to Schitt’s Creek, and I’d definitely recommend it for all hardcore fans of the show. It missed the mark a bit for me personally, though overall I did enjoy it.

It’s billed as a guide for entertaining, but all of the tips are very basic – it’s mostly just an excuse to rehash things that happened on the show and frame them around a recipe. The focus of the book is definitely on tongue-in-cheek comments and references to the events of the series rather than practical advice. Given that, I wouldn’t advise reading this if you haven’t watched the show yet, as spoilers abound.

The illustrations were definitely the highlight of the book for me, they’re fun and cute and really added a lot to the overall reading experience. It was also fun to relive some of the highlights of the show, since it’s been a while since I’ve watched it.

Though not great as a practical guide, I do think this would make a great gift for the Schitt’s Creek lover in your life!

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This book is great for fans of Schitts Creek. It is a great book for entertainment, but not really practical. Not really sure how useful it would be. It is a fun way to remember and reminisce about the show.

Fold in the Cheese is the unofficial guide for us Schitt’s Creek fans everywhere. Five Amazingly Ew David Stars lol
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eArc in exchange for an honest review. Schitt’s Creek is hands down one of my favorite shows of all time. Have you seen it? No, what are you waiting for. This show is amazingly awesome, hilarious and the characters are TOP TIER. Fold in the Cheese was no exception.

I HIGHLY recommend this book along with the series that inspired it. Hope you enjoy the recipes within as well May this book bring a smile to your face like only Schitt’s Creek can.

I am a HUGE Schitt's Creek fan and this is a must have for any watcher of the show. It was a very entertaining and fun read with great illustrations and full of recipes and guides, with everything from throwing a birthday party, game nights and brilliantly named recipes.This would make a perfect gift!

Schitt’s Creek fan or not, this book is a great read, with fantastic ideas and recipes!
I pictured the beloved characters coming to life to offer advice and suggestions. There’s plenty of tips to ensure that any event or gathering is perfectly planned and executed!
The design of this book is appealing, the content both easy to read and useful and there’s the expected humour to satisfy your love for the show’s characters!

Congratulations to the publisher, NetGalley and author for this wonderful book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wow! This wasn't what I expected it to be, but also, I had no idea what to expect! I'm a simple girl--I see Schitt's Creek, I request.
This is a wonderful party planning guide that is fun and on brand for Schitt's Creek fans, but it also doesn't require you to be throwing a Schitt's Creek party--the various chapters are broken up into different types of parties (i.e. dinner parties, barbecues, etc.) Not only are there cute recipes, but also ideas for activities and how to be a good host. I don't throw many parties, but I certainly will flip through this again for my next one!

This is cute and fun, and definitely for the devoted fan of Schitt's Creek. It's full of references and in-jokes that won't make sense to people who weren't pretty into the show, but, for those that are, it's a very enjoyable love letter to all things Rose and adjacent.

There are some good entertaining tips here, including some enticing recipes and good guidance for party games and activities. It's a bit text-heavy. I would have liked to see more variation in formatting (infographics, lists, etc.) but hardcore fans can power through. This would be a great gift for any fan of the show and will definitely be appreciated!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

Even if you’ve never seen the show Schitt’s Creek, you will enjoy this book. So many amazing party/hosting ideas. Really funny and helpful book. Now go watch the show.

This is a super cute book for fans of Schitt's Creek. It's a novelty book, to be sure, but the party tips are doable and the humour throughout is enjoyable.

A perfectly giftable book for the Schitt's Creek lovers in your life! This book is organized well, the graphics are simple yet effective, and the nods to the show are done tastefully.

Good book, but I was surprised by the relative lack of food photos. Not what I was expecting in a cookbook.

This is a must have for Schitt’s Creek fans! I enjoyed this book and made me want to throw a Schitt’s Creek movie premiere party (wishful thinking). There were some helpful tips and good recipes; however I wish there were more recipes. Overall, a cute and fun read for fans!

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC.

A really fun little party book for Schitt's Creek fans! Each party idea is steeped in Schitt's Creek nostalgia. Honestly, there is nothing ground breaking here. However, the recipes and entertainment ideas are easy and perfect tie-ins with the show. Yes. THE enchilada recipe is included!

This is a goldmine of starter ideas for throwing the perfect celebratory party - of any type - for a true Schitt's Creek fan. Or, perfect for series binge nights with friends to set the experience and mood!

My thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley for a digital ARC of Fold in the Cheese, in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

Fold In The Cheese by Parker Long is THE LEADING VOICE on party-planning in my humble opinion. This glorious book was both informative and absolutely hilarious. I have already made the Chocolate Ganache Torte and it was absolutely to die for! This is on my xmas list for a few friends. They're going to love it!

Omg lol I loved schitts creek more than I love cheese, which says a lot, and this book was equal parts funny, useful, and an amazing tribute to schitts creek.
