Celebrate any occasion (really, any occasion!) with 100 creative recipes and endless ideas for weird and wacky parties, from Academy Award-winning actor Brie Larson and former Milk Bar culinary director Courtney McBroom

Brie Larson and Courtney McBroom found each other through food-a huge vat of molten queso, to be exact. They've been throwing food-filled parties together ever since. From weekly Game of Thrones viewing parties, to Dirty Dancing-themed birthday parties and their annual Hot Dog Appreciation Festival, they can find a reason to celebrate just about anything.

While their debate over whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich will never end, Brie and Courtney can agree that food always tastes best when you cook it and eat it with the ones you love. They wrote Party People to help you create meaningful connections with the ones you love, whether that's with family, friends, or yourself. And with recipes like Old Pal cocktails, Jenga-Style Cheesy Bread, and Roast Chicken for the Ages, they have you covered.

Technically, this is an entertaining cookbook. But Brie and Courtney are serving up more than party tips and menus. They give you the tools to spark a new dining revolution in your home, one where connection takes center stage and entertaining is an afterthought. Now, go forth and party!

Reviews for Party People: A Cookbook for Creative Celebrations

""Irreverent and jam-packed, this joyful volume prioritizes fun over fuss."" - Publishers Weekly “I haven’t read a book about parties and entertaining this good since the one I wrote in ’88!” - Garfield ""Party People isn’t just about cooking…it’s about the whole arc of a night with friends, from the big showstopper dishes to the late-night hot dogs and even the morning-after recovery. Courtney and Brie have made a book that’s fun, useful, and captures what parties actually feel like. I’ve already dog-eared more pages than I expected."" - David Chang “Sticky fingers, messy table- both signs of a great bash, and in this case, a brilliant book. There is no truer expression of this duo than these pages and these recipes. Be prepared to snort laugh, drool, whip up a feast, dance, create, feed and celebrate ALL THE THINGS. Perfectly imperfect, comfortably human, full of flavor, flair and fun, these brilliant party humans have the most introverted corners of my personality screaming “where’s my invite?!” Party on.” - Christina Tosi
