Party People

“If an award for the most joyful-packed cookbook released this year existed, Party People. . . would run away with the title. It’s a call to action for readers to get weird and wild and throw a party with their favorite people. Take the party person pledge (it’s included), learn the eight steps to throwing a party, then get cooking. Batched cocktails, slushees, something called “cheesy jenga bread” or “French onion ramen dip”? There are recipes. Plus tips for when to start prepping, how to dress, what activities to do and what to play on your stereo for every kind of party. With this book in the kitchen, everybody is a party person.” – Jenn Harris, Los Angeles Times

“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
