Snacks from Around the World

A snack is a small freedom.

Unlike a rigid meal, snacks answer to no schedule and no ceremony. Snacks from Around the World by Florence Malchi is a beautifully curated collection of those small, universal pleasures, gathered from kitchens across the globe.

This is not a book of fussy, plated appetizers meant only for formal guests. These are casual, comforting bites you can roast, toast, bake, or mix, then keep in a jar or a bowl and return to whenever the craving strikes.

• India: Addictively sweet and faintly spiced Chivda
• Japan: Savory, umami-rich Furikake Popcorn
• The Middle East: Rattling-crisp Za'atar Roasted Chickpeas
• The United States: Warm, chewy Soft Pretzel Bites
• France: Shatteringly light, caramelized Palmiers
• Mexico, Spain, Korea, Peru, Greece, and more!

Nearly everything in this collection is meatless and mostly dairy-free, making these snacks perfect for any pantry or dietary need. Every recipe is designed with simplicity in mind-no hard-to-find ingredients or advanced culinary skills required. Along the way, you'll find the single most important tip for each snack, the secret trick a good cook would mention as they passed you the bowl.

Find a jar. Heat the oven. Let's make something to nibble on. Grab your copy today and bring the world's most comforting bites into your own kitchen!
