From awkward schoolgirl to Caterer to the Stars, Mary Giuliani weaves together a collection of hilarious memories, from professional growing pains to her long journey to motherhood, never losing her sense of humor and her love for everyone's favorite party food, pigs in a blanket.
Mary's utterly unremarkable childhood was everything she didn't want hailing from a deeply loving yet overprotective Italian family in an all-Jewish enclave on Long Island. All she wanted was to fit in (be Jewish) and become famous (specifically a cast member on Saturday Night Live). With an easy, natural storytelling sensibility, Mary shares her journey from a cosseted childhood home to the stage and finally to the party, accidentally landing what she now refers to as "the breakthrough role of a lifetime" catering to a glittery list of stars she once hoped to be part of herself.
Fresh, personal, and full of Mary's humorous, self-deprecating, and can-do attitude against all odds, you'll want to see where each shiny silver tray of hors d'oeuvres takes her next. You never know when the humble hot dog will be a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success, in building a business or simply making life more delicious.

Tiny Hot Dogs A Memoir in Small Bites Mary Giuliani 9780762465569 Books Reviews
- This memoir was such a treat--I literally devoured it in one sitting. The writer is heartfelt, hilarious, mischievous, yet imminently kind. Reminds me of Nora Ephron. Her stories are hilarious and generous, and when I put down the book, I felt like all is well in the world--cheery and grateful. Highly recommend.
- Do you have a favorite item of clothing - you know the one that you put on and are instantly comfortable? Or have you ever met someone that you know the instant you meet them, they are going to be in your life for a long time. That is what this book is like. You instantaneously know that you are going to like Mary and you are going to want to have a tiny hot dog and a martini with her and be her best friend. A quick and well-written read, you should put this book on your spring/summer reading list as soon as possible.
- This book felt like I was having a conversation with a dear friend. She made me laugh, cry, and really think about my life. Plus a few recipes I can't wait to try. The stories are smart and funny, and I thank her for sharing them.
- Loving it!
- A must read. Peggy D
- Amazing read!!!
- Memoirs are not my norm but I love cookbooks. Therefore, I thought I would give this one a try. I absolutely loved it! Her reminiscent stories were great....those of growing up as a Catholic, learning traditions of the Jewish faith and stories of her family in general. I especially enjoyed her mothers rules. Some were rather amusing, but many were honest and heartfelt. She told her "a man is attracted to the smell of basil, so use it in everything you cook." But then she also told her to marry for love and nothing else. The basil one "may" be good advice (I've never tried it) but I know the one about marrying for love is.
I'm so glad I gave this book a try. It's one I can definitely see myself re-reading. I know I will refer back to some of the recipes. It was such a pleasant surprise!
I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. - What can you say about a woman whose writing muse was John Goodman? Or a woman who grew up in the 1980s and was gaga about the Monkees? (Yes, that’s hey, hey, we’re the Monkees.) Well, you can say she wrote a pretty good memoir, except for the crude parts and the drinking. The crude parts are fortunately limited. The drinking is not. You can also say she is often as funny as can be, and offers some excellent advice to those who wanted to become famous, but didn’t end up that way. (At least not as famous as they wanted in the way that they wanted.) Plus, you can say the Jewish part of her childhood was hilarious and her Italian family a delight. Anything else? Yes, what can you say about a woman who writes the two men (dead or alive) she’d most want to dance with are Kenny Rogers and Jesus?
(Note I received a free e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher or author.)
