“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.

      When food stylist Lenzer took a trip to Spain, she fell in love with tapas, or small plates of appetizers. When the author returned to the United States, she incorporated this style of eating into her own life, practicing what she calls "grazing" instead of eating a full meal with a main course. Lenzer feels this frees the cook from having to prepare a main course and allows for keeping meals simple. She advocates for creating multiple small dishes that rely on high-quality, fresh, and seasonal ingredients. Sample menus provide inspiration for ingredients that pair well together. Lenzer's essential items include fresh bread, good tomatoes, cheese, and cured meats. This book is divided into chapters based on the level of preparation required, from simple communal vegetable and cheese platters to those that require a bit of cooking such as soup and items that require more time and effort such as jam or pate. VERDICT Beautifully photographed, as one would expect from a food stylist, this is a exquisite book to browse, but its simple recipes and creative menus make it accessible to even novice cooks.--Melissa Stoeger, Deerfield P.L., IL
