“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. Mariana Velásquez is a modern-day heroine of hospitality, reminding us that welcoming others with care, style, and generosity is one of life’s greatest pleasures. With exquisite recipes and stunning attention to detail, she elevates every element of entertaining into an act of artistry. Through her vision, we’re reminded that a beautiful life isn’t just possible—it’s worth creating, one thoughtful gathering at a time.”—Shelley Lindgren, co-author of Italian Wine and Wine Director / Founder of A16 Restaurants and Tansy Wines “I have been lucky enough to experience the warmth, whimsy, and delicious joy Mariana creates at her unique inclusive and always exciting gatherings. This book captures the distinctive elegance and enchanting ease of Mariana’s style. She shares her ginormous heart on every page, generously gifting all of her creative secrets, so that anyone with a desire to open their homes and hearts to others shines brightly. Mariana wants you to twinkle and sparkle with joy. I love Revel.”—Mary Giuliani, author and party and lifestyle expert
