Revel: A Hosting Cookbook

A fresh, modern take on the art of gathering, Revel reimagines hosting with ease, intention, and style. Featuring 85 recipes across fifteen thoughtfully curated menus, it’s designed to help you entertain beautifully—without the overwhelm. From chef, food stylist, and designer Mariana Velásquez, the approach begins with a simple question: why are you bringing people together? From there, every detail falls into place—from mood to menu to setting. Organized by time of day, each menu is paired with a clear, considered plan, offering guidance on shopping, preparation, and creating atmosphere with confidence and ease. With evocative photography by Gentl & Hyers, Revel celebrates hosting as it should be—flexible, joyful, and entirely your own.
