Peckish: A Cookbook For the Sophisticated Snacker

Peckish: Suggestions for the Sophisticated Snacker
By Suzanne Lenzer • Hardcover • 256 pages

For those moments when a full meal feels like too much but a plain plate of crackers just won’t do, Peckish offers over 75 recipes designed for thoughtful, satisfying snacking. Food stylist and author Suzanne Lenzer celebrates the joy found in those in-between bites—the toasts, jars, skewers, and small bowls that bring people together without the fuss of a formal meal.

Inside, you’ll find ideas that make casual entertaining effortless, from savoury spreads and bite-sized skewers to handheld treats and vibrant bowls. Whether you’re gathering on the deck, packing something special for a drive to the lake, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, these recipes are as beautiful as they are doable.

With a focus on mindful snacking, Suzanne shows how a little planning can turn grazing into something memorable—adding colour, texture, and variety to your table. Perfect for the host who values good conversation as much as good food, Peckish proves that the best gatherings often happen between the making and the meal.
