Sunday Brunch Salon with Mariana Velásquez

Celebrating Revel: A Maximalist's Guide to Having People Over

Join us for an intimate Sunday Brunch Salon celebrating the release of Mariana Velásquez's new hosting cookbook, Revel: A Maximalist's Guide to Having People Over.

The afternoon begins with a welcome cocktail sponsored by Madre Mezcal, followed by a family-style, coursed brunch inspired by recipes from Revel. Throughout the meal, Mariana will join Holly Bea Adair of Central Stem and Demi Gonzalez of Rooted for a conversation about hospitality, entertaining with intention, and the art of bringing people together around the table.

After brunch, guests are invited to browse the Central Stem Pop-Up featuring artisan-made goods showcased throughout the afternoon, including copies of Revel. Mariana will also be signing books.
