Summary
From the creator of Sunday Suppers， the wildly popular Brooklyn-based cooking club， comes a gorgeous menu-based cookbook celebrating the magic of communal meals with family and friends。
Karen Mordechai was one of the first to redefine "entertaining" as "gathering"-in order words， not as a production of complicated dishes and decor， but as the intimate act of eating together at home。 Sunday Suppers features Karen's achingly beautiful photography and 100 recipes centered around get-togethers （a beach lunch， an urban picnic， Valentine's Day breakfast in bed） with easy preparations （you can actually make the whole menu！） and simple， elegant styling。

Beautiful photos in a cookbook are more important to me than they probably should be。 In that criteria， this book is five star。 The recipes and proposed events inspired some eye rolls though。

There is no denying that this book oozes with pretentiousness （especially the parts where the author instructs you how to build a beach fire or assumes we might like to have marinated lemon asparagus on a camping trip） but the recipes and photographs also fully succeeded in hypnotizing me- magically transporting me to a reality where I really might make my own biscuits from scratch on a Saturday morning or laugh with friends by the water’s edge over a big bowl of fire roasted paella and pomegran There is no denying that this book oozes with pretentiousness （especially the parts where the author instructs you how to build a beach fire or assumes we might like to have marinated lemon asparagus on a camping trip） but the recipes and photographs also fully succeeded in hypnotizing me- magically transporting me to a reality where I really might make my own biscuits from scratch on a Saturday morning or laugh with friends by the water’s edge over a big bowl of fire roasted paella and pomegranate sangria， dancing in the moonlight。 Determined to make a couple of those dreams a reality on weekends and vacations！ 。。。more

This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks。 For some reason I connect with it on a primal level。

This cookbook is a touch pretentious， but in the best of ways。 Every single meal made me want to live life like the author does。 I want to cook scallop and sausage paella over a fire on the beach！ It was fun to read in the same way that architecture magazines are fun to flip though。 It felt like a window into an alternate world。 That said， a lot of the recipes feel like something I would cook。 So far I've enjoyed biscuits and jam butters， and the challah recipe。 I'm looking forward to trying a l This cookbook is a touch pretentious， but in the best of ways。 Every single meal made me want to live life like the author does。 I want to cook scallop and sausage paella over a fire on the beach！ It was fun to read in the same way that architecture magazines are fun to flip though。 It felt like a window into an alternate world。 That said， a lot of the recipes feel like something I would cook。 So far I've enjoyed biscuits and jam butters， and the challah recipe。 I'm looking forward to trying a lot of the others。 。。。more

Y'all， this cookbook is making me LOL。 I think most of the menus and recipes are solid and I will definitely try some of them。 But one of them made me absolutely crack up。 "A Spring Forager's Lunch" which is billed as "a simple man's lunch。" Well。。。IDK what simple man would want to go wander in his backyard forest to find mushrooms and sunchokes and ramps and parsnips and then make a green soup and eat lemon-cumin yougurt。 Most simple men I know eat。。。peanut butter and jelly。 Or soup。 THAT is a Y'all， this cookbook is making me LOL。 I think most of the menus and recipes are solid and I will definitely try some of them。 But one of them made me absolutely crack up。 "A Spring Forager's Lunch" which is billed as "a simple man's lunch。" Well。。。IDK what simple man would want to go wander in his backyard forest to find mushrooms and sunchokes and ramps and parsnips and then make a green soup and eat lemon-cumin yougurt。 Most simple men I know eat。。。peanut butter and jelly。 Or soup。 THAT is a simple man's lunch。 I mean， I'm sure it is all delicious， but I want to go live in these people's world for just a little while。Edit: Did you know you can marinate cheese？ That you could serve mixed root vegetable chips at a child's birthday party？ Finally， I now know I can make my pastries even more decadent by brushing my baking molds with beeswax。 Mmmhmmm。。。。Four stars because most of the recipes look really good and pretty straightforward， because I have not laughed at a cookbook so much since I read Cravings by Chrissy Teigen。 。。。more

I'm glad I borrowed this recipe book from the library before I committed to purchasing it because this book does not live up to all the hype。 Although the food photography is gorgeous， the food descriptions are overwrought and some of the menus left me puzzled-Beef and Green Olive Empanadas for a little one's birthday party？ As well， the assurance that most of the ingredients should be "readily available" must apply only to those living in large urban centres-nigella seeds and fennel pollen？ I t I'm glad I borrowed this recipe book from the library before I committed to purchasing it because this book does not live up to all the hype。 Although the food photography is gorgeous， the food descriptions are overwrought and some of the menus left me puzzled-Beef and Green Olive Empanadas for a little one's birthday party？ As well， the assurance that most of the ingredients should be "readily available" must apply only to those living in large urban centres-nigella seeds and fennel pollen？ I thought the book was pretentious and uninspiring。 。。。more

Food porn at its best。 Most recipes are accessible to the average cook， but the presentation is what sets this apart。 An absolutely gorgeous book。
