Revel

“Mariana Velasquez's Revel is a fierce invitation to rethink how to host with love, generosity and wild amplitude. Revel opened my mind to entertaining any time of day with Mariana's delicious recipes and also served as a reminder that the process is as much about caring for others as it is about caring for myself. Even after decades of being a hostess myself, Mariana dazzled me with new ideas and recipes.”—Dana Cowin, Founder, Progressive Hedonist and former editor-in-chief of Food & Wine “Revel is more than a cookbook—it’s a love letter to the art of hosting, a celebration of beauty, joy, and intention in how we gather.
