Amy Thielen will discuss her book "Company: The Radically Casual Art of Cooking for Others." She will also sell and sign books.

Amy Thielen is a two-time James Beard award-winning writer and chef. She’s the author of three books: The New Midwestern Table, Give a Girl a Knife (a memoir), and her latest cookbook, Company: The Radical Art of Cooking for Others—out August 29 from W.W. Norton. "Company" includes a year of inventive recipes and menus for the "let's do it at my house" set. Rethink the way you entertain, throwing dinner parties that are less formal, more frequent, and as fun for the cook as for the guests.

Her cooking show, Heartland Table, co-produced by Random House Television and Lidia Bastianich’s Tavola Productions, premiered on Food Network in 2013 and ran for two seasons.

This event is a partnership with Springboard for the Arts, in conjunction with their 2024 Rural Futures Summit in Fergus Falls. www.springboardforthearts.org/rural-gatherings.
