    Excerpt · Positive tone

    I love the magic of fall gatherings. The sun still sets after 6pm, it’s the perfect temperature to comfortably sit by a bonfire, and the flavors of apple, cinnamon and pumpkin spice waft through my kitchen. When I think about fall appetizers, I like to lean into these seasonal notes. Make a cheeseboard with a smoked gruyère paired with apples from the local orchard.

    Today, I should be writing you from a caffé in Florence, sipping on an affogato and checking off the various shops, museums and restaurants on my detailed Google Maps list.

    You probably know this by now, but I’m not the biggest fan of cooking a large, multi-course dinner for a crowd. It often means a pile of dishes to clean, too many chairs crammed around the table, and worst of all, being stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is laughing and having fun without me. The snacky party is a no-fuss, equally as tasty alternative, where a variety of apps are served for guests to mingle and graze at their own leisure.
