Here is a savory cocktail nibble that would satisfy a French host’s needs. These cashews were inspired by the bar nuts served at Union Square Cafe in New York City, which is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. Note: The cashews are best served warm, but you can prepare the rosemary mixture in advance and just before guests arrive toss them and serve.—Ina Garten
