Molly and Kate speak with writer Amy Thielen about her new cookbook, Company; its menu format, its inspiration and how its voice differs from her earlier works. She describes confronting her own created persona, why she feels it is important to highlight the bittersweetness in life, and who she writes for. She also discusses the delays with this book, working with her editor, stylist, and photographer, as well as her system for recipe writing, tracking, and testing. Finally, she shares her intimate approach to food writing and what she is working on now. Hosts: Kate Leahy + Molly Stevens + Kristin Donnelly + Andrea NguyenEditor: Abby Cerquitella  MentionsAmy ThielenWebsiteInstagramFacebookSubstack Visit the Everything Cookbooks Bookshop to purchase a copy of the books mentioned in the showCompany: The Radically Casual Art of Cooking for Others by Amy ThielenGive a Girl a Knife: A Memoir by Amy ThielenThe New Midwestern Table: 200 Heartland Recipes by Amy ThielenChez Panisse Menu Cookbook
