What's come to me at last is that many of the most compelling discussions and deepest fits of laughter happen in between the making and the meal itself. These moments are perfect because they have all the features one hopes for in the feast without the organization, orchestration, and, yes, exhaustion. So why not liberate ourselves and embrace the truth? So often it's the snacks, the tastes in between, that make our hearts race.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMindful snacking (and home cooking) is the philosophy that food stylist and author Suzanne Lenzer nurtures in her own life and shares here with us. Who doesn't love standing in front of a full fridge wondering what to pull out for a covert snack? Eating is simply more fun when we have a few choices and are free to eat how we like, not simply how we've been conditioned. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut don't fret, thoughtful snacking is not complicated nor does it require long days spent at the stove. And while it does require a modicum of planning, the benefits exponentially outweigh the effort. Thoughtful snacking is also about moving beyond boards and platters when we entertain, by adding dimension to the table, both in what we serve and how we serve it. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003ePeckish \u003c\/i\u003eis divided into charming chapters sorted by vessel--such as \n\u003cb\u003eOn Toast\u003c\/b\u003e, \n\u003cb\u003eIn Jars\u003c\/b\u003e, \n\u003cb\u003eSkewers and Sticks\u003c\/b\u003e, \n\u003cb\u003eIn Bowls\u003c\/b\u003e, \n\u003cb\u003e Napkins Only, \u003c\/b\u003e and more--so that the home cook can plan their snacking night with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenzer, Suzanne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodale Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e April 22, 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Cooking|Courses \u0026amp; Dishes|Brunch|Cooking|Courses \u0026amp; Dishes|Snacks|Cooking|Entertaining|General\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Appetizers|Snack foods|Cookbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593797006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e 1637999089ISBN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780593797006\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rodale Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46999840129155,"sku":"SP-9780593797006","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780593797006_1753763512403.png?v=1776825945","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/peckish-suggestions-for-the-sophisticated-snacker-a-cookbook-by-suzanne-lenzer-spiral-bound","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
