# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means you can sleep in and still feel like you've pulled off something impressive.
  • Guests get to build exactly what they're craving, so picky eaters and adventurous ones are equally happy.
  • The whole setup takes 20 minutes but tastes like you've been planning it for weeks.
02 -
  • Never mix the honey into the whole yogurt batch—it turns everything the same sweetness, and some people want their parfait barely sweet at all.
  • Keep everything cold until serving, but pull the yogurt out five minutes early so it's spreadable instead of rigid, which changes how smoothly you can layer.
03 -
  • Toast your almonds yourself if you have five extra minutes—store-bought toasted often tastes like cardboard, but your own toasted almonds smell incredible and taste even better.
  • Keep a second container of granola hidden in the kitchen because there will always be someone who comes back for seconds, and you'll want that crunch waiting.
