For the French, the fleeting interlude between a long workday and the evening meal to come is not meant to be hectic or crazed. Instead, that time is a much needed chance to pause, take a breath, and reset with light drinks and snacks. Whether it’s a quick affair before dashing out the door to your favorite Parisian bistro or a lead-up to a more lavish party, Apéritif is about kicking off the night, rousing the appetite, and doing so with the carefree spirit of connection and conviviality. Apéritif celebrates that easygoing lifestyle with simple yet stylish recipes for both classic and modern French apéritif-style cocktails, along with French-inspired bites and hors d’oeuvres.

Joseph ★★★★★

This book perfectly captures that calm, unhurried transition into the evening, and I've already used several of its simple ideas for winding down without feeling rushed. The writing is so evocative, it makes even a quiet glass of wine feel like a ritual.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I bought this after realizing my evenings were just rushing straight into dinner prep, and it actually slowed me down. The section on the pause between work and the meal made me rethink how I schedule my week.

Zoe F. ★★★★★

The photos of a quiet kitchen table with a glass of pastis had me slowing down before dinner without even trying. It's less a recipe book and more a reminder to actually pause between the workday and the meal.
