From Annette Joseph, named one of The Salonniere's 100 Best Party Hosts Included in Eater's "Every Spring 2018 Cookbook That Matters" “Aperitivo” or “Apero” is an integral part of Italian lifestyle—it is the daily ritual of meeting late afternoon or early evening for a cocktail and a few nibbles.

With chapters on twelve major cities along the Italian Riviera (including San Remo, Genova, Portofino, and Santa Margarita), each will feature unique cocktail recipes as well as regional appetizers traditionally served with cocktails, often as a beachside ritual. You’ll also find sidebars offering detailed info about local distilleries, celebrity barmen, cultural idiosyncrasies of bar life, famous hotels, and much more.

"Picture Perfect Party provides blueprints for a year's worth of get-togethers, covering every holiday and occasion. From her years of experience, Annette Joseph has developed an arsenal of tricks for making entertaining easy, and here she shares them for the first time. Her focus is always on making use of items that are already at hand in the house, ingeniously transforming theordinary into the extraordinary--a style of entertaining that doesn't require spending a lot of money. For example, for the Fourth of July, she shows how to turn galvanized buckets upside down to create fun stands for her Sour Cream Apple Pie, or for Christmas, she explains how to serve Mini Pavlovas in cupcake liners. Her philosophy centers around the idea that the best way to bring people together and make food enjoyable is to create table presentations that excite the eye and delight the imagination as much as they do the palate..."--From the publisher
