“Let us be extremely real: Everyone needs at least two handfuls of party tricks. With Anna Hezel’s new book, you will be the indebted recipient of a bookful.” —The Week

Here, Anna Hezel leans into the luxury of fancy snacky food via 50 recipes that draw inspiration from glamorous bar nibbles and retro classics, including:

- Confit Cherry Tomatoes
- Shrimp Butter and Cucumber Sandwiches on Brioche

- Sungold Vanilla Shrub
- And much more!
