COCKTAILS AND CANAPÉS

Lydia Gwin calls cocktails and canapés on a Monday night, planning for the holiday weekend. Sit back and enjoy a blood orange Aperol spritz and a salted caramel-pecan sour as Lydia prepares braised short ribs on fried polenta cakes with pickled green tomato relish, chicken-spinach-artichoke canapés, basil-mozzarella-tomato Caprese crostini with a balsamic reduction glaze, plus mini crab cakes with creamy horseradish sauce.
