We've long been fans of Amy Thielen's cooking. Her recipes bring styled-out flourishes to the kitchen repertoire. And then there's her writing: with Thielen's first cookbook, The New Midwestern Table , she became our generation's Laurie Colwin, dramatizing the all-five-senses thrills of cooking with a nurturing voice that made readers feel: I got this . Company broadens the scope, torquing up the ambition to menu-based parties like a Friday-night Fish Fry for eight or an Argentinian-Style Asado for twenty or more. Packed with real-life tips, hacks, and kitchen inspiration, every sentence of this book will make you a better, happier cook!--Matt Lee and Ted Lee, authors of The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen An exuberant, irreverent love letter to abundance in all its forms: friendship, care, pleasure, and beautiful food that brings them all together.--Chelsey Johnson, author of Stray City Amy Thielen's recipes and writing capture the true rhythms of the kitchen, from the glamour and glee of an overloaded table to the welcome quiet of a dish-stacked sink. This book is a practical and economical guide to cooking for a crowd.

It's also fancy and funny and fun. Reading and cooking with Company feels like being invited to the sort of party I crave--and it makes me want to throw my own blowout feast as soon as humanly possible.--Kate Lebo, author of The Book of Difficult Fruit A treasure--after spending time with Amy Thielen's intimate, spirited, and often funny writing in Company , you'll want to have her at your party, too.--Mayukh Sen, author of Taste Makers The most gorgeous and useful cookbook I've seen in a long time. Amy Thielen's recipes are always foolproof, and company-pleasers for sure. This book inspires what we need more than ever right now, community. I will be cooking from it for a long time.--Jeni Britton-Bauer, entrepreneur and author of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts.
