The Small Bites

Something to Set Beside the Glass

Six simple plates, each one paired to the drinks it flatters. Nothing here takes more than twenty minutes — hosting should leave you time to host.

Chocolate-Dipped Biscotti

Made for dunking, dressed for company.

A dozen

Cool, crisp, and quietly the fanciest thing on the table.

About 16 little sandwiches

Buttery, bright, and better a day old.

About 24 rounds

Warm, salty, a little smoky — the bowl that empties first.

One generous bowl

The oldest cheese-plate trick there is, because it works.

A plate for four

Salty, sweet, gone in two bites.

About 20 crostini
