Book Description
There’s just something exciting about approaching a spectacular spread where you get to choose from a beautiful variety of foods to customize your own meal, snack, dessert, or drink. Every time I set out a spread for my loved ones, it’s a huge success. Not only is the preparation relatively simple, but the versatility of each spread is perfect for pleasing everyone, even particular eaters. A spread invites conversation, creativity, and experimentation. Food is known to bring people together, and what better way to encourage this than with an impressive array of food for everyone to gather around and fill their plates with in their own unique ways, sparking conversation with others about their favorite foods and choices, and possibly even influencing one another to try something new. Plus, there isn’t that pressure to try everything or eat particular foods in a certain way, and each person can choose how much they want of each item. Best of all, once you set out the spread, you can relax and enjoy it too. It’s a proven way to make everyone feel happy and gratified while you enjoy the experience with them. Here are the keys to a successful spread.

Book Description
An accessible, mouthwatering collection of more than 80 recipes for small bites, tapas, and charcuterie spreads “Graze is the most useful cookbook I’ve seen in a long time. It’s perfect for the way we eat now: simple food, big platters, big flavors.”—Diana Henry, author of Simple: Effortless Food, Big Flavours Grazing is an enchanting way to eat. It means skipping from dish to dish, tasting different things without committing to a single one. It’s about creating multiple dishes that work together as a meal, that all share a theme, an aesthetic. When she entertains, or even pulls together a quick dinner for just two, food stylist Suzanne Lenzer enjoys this tapas-style of eating—and with her guidance, you can too. In Graze, chapters are organized by level of involvement, from simply slicing veggies (“Mostly Chopping”) to cooking up lavish spreads (“Worth the Effort”). Whip up fast and easy Prosciutto, Asparagus, and Arugula Rolls and Three-Tomato Panzanella on a busy weeknight or indulge in Flaky Cheddar Biscuits with Heirloom Tomatoes and Peaches, Shredded Potato Cakes with Ramps, and Lemon-Tarragon Chicken Skewers on the weekend. And to finish off the meal, try desserts like Brown Butter Brownies and Lemon-Lavender Posset. Making delicious, beautiful dishes and snacks for grazing, whether for two or twelve, doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. With simple, no-nonsense tips on how to stock your pantry, sample menus, and easy-to-modify recipes, Graze is the ultimate resource for preparing healthy, wholesome, and appetizing food without spending hours in the kitchen.
