Hannah Hart, host of the YouTube hit "My Drunk Kitchen," readily admits she's not a chef, she's not much of a drinker and the recipes she prepares on the show, well, they're probably not hers. But that's not the point of the series, which has taken upward of 9 million views since she made her first show on a lark in March 2011. The idea, the 29-year-old, comic, actress, author and web personality says, is to have fun in the kitchen and bring the viewer along for the ride. "In the house party of life, I always find myself in the kitchen," Hart explains. "It's the room I feel most comfortable in and I like being in the kitchen, especially if you're at a house party and everybody is drinking and dancing and you want some quiet time and you just want to like talk to somebody and have a conversation without shouting. Usually in the kitchen is where you find it." A typical "Drunk Kitchen" episode runs five to seven minutes and captures Hart in the kitchen of her Los Angeles-area apartment, preparing dishes ranging from crepes, beer brats and deviled eggs to sriracha chicken, eggplant parmesan and even a Thanksgiving turkey. She shoots the videos alone – no camera or lights people required – and her talk to the camera is pure improv. Each video, she says, usually takes one hour to shoot and four to edit. Occasionally a friend will stop by and Hart may press them into duty, on or off screen. There also will be the odd celebrity guest, which in the past have included Sarah Silverman, Mary-Louise Parker, Lance Bass, Jamie Oliver and, this past summer, Seth Rogen, with whom she did a sausage party to promote his movie "Sausage Party." And then of course, there is the drinking. Hart admits an affinity for single malt scotch but on camera her beverage of choice is wine or a vodka soda. In her videos, Hart appears a bit tipsy and silly but certainly not out-of-control drunk. "I like to say about 'My Drunk Kitchen' I'm always exactly as drunk as I seem," she says, "and so there are some episodes where I was like, 'hotchy motchy!' and there are some episodes where like I'm just having a good time. I'm a lightweight so it really doesn't take much." Hannah Hart BY GEORGE DICKIE Hart has a good time drinking and cooking on 'My Drunk Kitchen' What book are you currently reading? "My answer is twofold. I just finished reading the final draft of my second book. I'm just going over it one more time. That's called 'Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded.' That's more of a memoir of my life and how it's gotten to this point. ... But the other book I just finished reading is '10 Percent Happier' by Dan Harris, which is just a great book." What did you have for dinner last night? "To be honest, I think I just had bread and cheese." What is your next project? "Currently, I'm working on ... a TV show for Food Network, and promoting my new book 'Buffering' later this fall." When was your last vacation, where and why? "It's hard to say 'vacation.' I took a weekend, I took four days and I went to Maui and I made a couple of videos while I was there. It was definitely amazing and awesome. But I just have a really hard time not making something, just because I love to create. But yeah, four days in Maui and it was the best."
