Brie Larson Swaps Superhero Cape for Spatula in Upcoming Cookbook “Party People”
Move over Captain Marvel, Brie Larson is about to become the captain of your next dinner party. The Academy Award-winning actress is stepping into a new spotlight this fall, this time in the kitchen. Teaming up with her best friend and celebrated chef Courtney McBroom, Larson is co-authoring a cookbook called Party People, and it promises to be more than just your standard fare of food photography and fancy recipes.
Party People is an homage to the art of entertaining—casual, confident, and delicious. “It’s about knowing how to cook things confidently so that you can enjoy your party,” Brie explains. And that’s the real superhero move here: cooking without the stress and actually having time to sip your drink, laugh with friends, and stay out of the kitchen chaos.
This isn’t Brie’s first foray into lifestyle or wellness—she’s long been vocal about mental health, balance, and creativity outside the spotlight—but it’s her most flavorful yet. The book features recipes designed for ease and flow, allowing hosts to prep ahead and avoid feeling like the underpaid sous-chef at their own event. Think charcuterie boards that make themselves and cocktails that dazzle without a mixologist degree.
Chef Courtney McBroom brings her culinary clout to the mix, giving the book credibility beyond the Hollywood shine. With a background that includes Milk Bar and her own food ventures, McBroom balances Brie’s sparkle with solid kitchen chops. Together, their mission is clear: to take the pressure off hosting and bring the party back to the people.
Set for a fall 2025 release, Party People is already causing a stir among fans and foodies alike. So whether you’re planning a casual game night or an elegant soirée, Brie and Courtney might just become your new secret ingredient.
Keep your eyes on the shelves and your invitations ready—because Party People is about to make you the host with the most.
