Cheese By Numbers

I’LL BRING THE APPS • Bites, Bowls, Boards & Beverages My third book is coming out on 3/3!!! This is the cookbook I’ve always wanted in my kitchen. As someone who hosts frequently, I always love serving a variety of snacks instead of an elaborate sit-down meal. It encourages a relaxed, low pressure environment and allows you to actually spend time with your guests, rather than stuck over the stove. Appetizers are the best part of any meal, and the varieties are truly endless. You’ll find the cheese plates you know and love, plus over 50 new recipes like Red Wine Poached Pears, Jammy Onion Toasts, Herby Caramelized Onion Dip, Summer Sausage Pasta Salad and SO much more. Although this is my third cookbook, it almost feels like a first again. This process marked the start of a new massive chapter in my life — moving solo from the city to a home upstate where I’ve been embracing the flow of the seasons and gathering with friends both new and old. The book is available for preorder now (every bit of support helps SO much!) Comment “apps” and I’ll send you all the details 🧀 /titles/marissa-mullen/ill-bring-the-apps/9781454961178/
