Ep. 77 • Brie Larson & Courtney McBroom
Life Is a Party and They Are The Hosts: A Conversation with Brie Larson & Courtney McBroom
Oscar-winning actress, Brie Larson, and her best friend, chef and dinner party guru Courtney McBroom, drop by to talk about their new cookbook Party People — a love letter to low-stakes, high-fun get togethers. The duo swap stories about their shared obsession with hosting (and, unexpectedly, Taco Bell!), and how Brie's mom, an over-the-top party planner, sparked her lifelong love of bringing people together. They also reminisce about working side by side on Lessons in Chemistry, where Courtney was head food consultant and Brie learned to see cooking in a whole new light. Plus, they share not one but two family recipes: Courtney’s grandma’s famous Texas sheet cake and a pistachio pie that almost didn’t make the cut.
