The Company We Keep: Stories and Recipes from People I'll Never Forget - Paperback

by Josh C. Epstein (Author), Gina Mazza (Editor), Veronica L. Chordas (Cover Design by)

Food is the excuse. Connection is the point.

In a world that feels increasingly disconnected, relationships matter more than ever. Yet the deepest lessons about friendship, family, and belonging are found in the ordinary moments we overlook: Sunday dinners, impromptu get-togethers, favorite recipes, and the conversations that shaped who we become.

The Company We Keep is an invitation to slow down and savor the connections we value most, and to make new ones. Through personal stories and recipes shared by family, friends, mentors, and people "met along the way," the author reveals how the people in our lives leave as much of an impression as the food we consume.

Part memoir, part cookbook, and part celebration of human connection, The Company We Keep reminds us that the best recipes aren't measured in cups and teaspoons, but in presence, authenticity, vulnerability, loyalty, and the simple act of showing up for one another.

Whether you cook from it, read it as a collection of stories, or use it as inspiration to create new traditions, The Company We Keep will inspire you to gather, share a meal, and reconnect with the people who matter most.
