The Essentials

I created this book’s recipes with game-night ease in mind. But a big part of what’s going to make game night as smooth, easy, and mess-free as possible is the serving pieces. You’ll find many of these great game-friendly serving items in cookware stores, department stores, and national chains, such as Cost Plus World Market. To stock up for larger game-night gatherings, I recommend checking out restaurant supply stores in your area. You can often find volume packs of glasses, dishes, bamboo skewers, and other serving pieces at very reasonable prices, though selection may be limited to basic styles and colors.
