CULTURED: You're hosting a dinner party. Who do your first three invites go to?
Dixler Canavan: My former coworker, cocktail expert John deBary. If you buy the book, you can get some of his cocktail tips in there. I’d love to invite one of the pastry chefs featured in the book, Claudia Martinez. Her desserts are so exciting. I'm making this dinner as a potluck. John will do cocktails. Claudia will do dessert. For the snacky section of the meal, I’d love to highlight Katie Button, who's the owner of Cúrate in Asheville and, in the book, has a recipe for her gilda pintxo.
