Hollywood star Brie Larson to release party-themed cookbook
Brie Larson is set to release a party-themed cookbook. The 35-year-old actress has joined forces with best friend and chef Courtney McBroom to create 'Party People', their new cookbook that they'll release later this year.
The Hollywood star told People: 'Through [our friendship], we've thrown many parties together. We have a really solid group of girlfriends, and whether it's been road trips or at someone's house, parties, whatever, we're really good at celebrating. And part of it is because we love doing it.
'It's not just about the food. It's about knowing how to cook things confidently so that you can enjoy your party … the recipes are based off of those things so you can maximize time with your guests and not feel like you're the one stuck in the kitchen while everybody else is having fun.'
'Party People' will feature more than 100 recipes and party ideas - but Courtney insists 'Party People' isn't a conventional cookbook.
She said: 'It doesn't have to be hard. You don't have to do a ton of work to bring all of your friends together and your loved ones and to surround yourself with community. And that was one of the main things we wanted to do, is make sure we were helping people do that.' Meanwhile, Brie previously revealed that she hopes her work helps people to 'feel less alone'.

'That's one that we would have a really fun time, I think, going back to, seeing where those crazy cats are today.' Jennifer has enjoyed huge success in her career, including starring in Friends, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. But the actress has one career goal that she still hopes to achieve.

Appearing on The Hollywood Reporter's Drama Actress Roundtable - which also featured Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Sofia Vegara, Brie Larson, Naomi Watts and Anna Sawai - Jennifer said: 'When you're in an audition room, you're already at a disadvantage.

Rebel Wilson ‘went into beast mode for Bride Hard'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Rebel Wilson went into 'beast mode' in preparation for Bride Hard. The 45-year-old actress has revealed that she embarked on an intense fitness plan in preparation for the new action-comedy film. Rebel - who previously starred in Bridesmaids and the Pitch Perfect film franchise - told People: 'I often put my body on the line for physical comedy.' The actress pushed herself to her physical limits in preparation for the new movie. However, Rebel actually enjoyed the challenge of getting herself in tip-top shape for Bride Hard. She said: 'I was pretty strong during this movie. I trained for a full five weeks and did conditioning for it, and then I had to be really kind of in beast mode, but I really enjoyed it, getting paid to almost be fit, which is really good.' Rebel uses curling irons like nunchucks in the new movie, and she admits to taking inspiration from movie icon Jackie Chan. She shared: 'When I lived in South Africa, basically to pass the time I would watch Jackie Chan videos and his comic timing, and I just loved all the movies. Even if they weren't subtitled and I couldn't even understand the dialogue, I just loved all his comedy-action scenes. 'They were so good. So I guess that's why I originally picked up nunchucks, to try to be a bit like Jackie Chan.' Meanwhile, Rebel recently revealed that she was almost 'permanently disfigured' while filming Bride Hard. The Hollywood star - who portrays a secret agent named Sam in the upcoming movie - was smacked in the face by a gun during her final night of filming, leaving her surrounded by a 'pool of blood'. Rebel told Access Hollywood: 'In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face. 'It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'
