Discover a Fresh Take on Happy Hour with Anna Vocino's New Cookbook

A Refreshing Twist on Happy Hour

Bestselling cookbook author Anna Vocino is back with her latest culinary creation, "Eat Happy Cocktail Hour: Deliciously Gluten Free and Low Carb Sips, Dips, and Bites." In her new cookbook, Vocino brings a collection of 72 recipes that redefine the concept of happy hour and entertaining while prioritizing health and well-being.

As the founder of the Eat Happy Kitchen and a voice actor known for her role in Disney/Pixar’s "Toy Story 5," Vocino masterfully combines her love for cooking and entertainment. This new collection is designed for those who want to indulge while sticking to gluten-free, grain-free, and low-carb diets. With cocktail hours often leading to indulgent and unhealthy choices, Vocino aims to change that perspective.

Cleverly Crafted Recipes

The cookbook showcases a range of engineered options perfect for gatherings, featuring cocktails and mocktails like the refreshing Watermelon Mint Martini and the spiced Chai Whiskey. Party-goers can enjoy savory bites, including Sesame Deviled Eggs and Spicy Pizza Bites, along with dips like Hot Spinach Dip and Creamy Beet Hummus.

Vocino believes that healthy eating should be a celebration rather than a sacrifice. "The food and drinks are obviously part of what makes a great gathering, but what really matters is getting people together and having a good time," she shared. Her emphasis is on joyful eating without straying from dietary preferences.

A Lifelong Journey to Healthy Eating

Anna’s journey began in 2002 when she was diagnosed with celiac disease. This led her on a path of culinary adaptation, transforming beloved traditional recipes into gluten-free versions. With over a decade of experience as a recipe creator, Anna has successfully carved out a niche in the wellness food space, promoting that eating well can still be exciting and satisfying. Her previous works, such as “Eat Happy,” have become bestsellers, and she continues to make her mark as a business entrepreneur with a focus on clean, natural food products.

Published by BenBella Books and released on October 13, 2026, "Eat Happy Cocktail Hour" encapsulates Anna’s philosophy of food enjoyment, featuring vibrant photography and practical mixology tips.
