Chapters are split into snack cravings: You're a bit salty (salt), The spice and smoke show (spice and smoke), How good is acid? (zest and tang), Cheese sleaze (cheese) and Afters, always. (liquor-based desserts) with options to do a little more, or even less, plus Batch cocktails to keep glasses full.
Pick your level of time commitment ('quickie', 'minor investment' or 'go the distance'), pour up the drink pairing and feel free to use a knife, scissors, or just your hands. We're using pre-made ingredients, submitting to sticky fingers and are really just here for a good old time. We're entertaining your way – hey, go you.
