Summary
Kinfolk magazine—launched to great acclaim and instant buzz in 2011—is a quarterly journal about understated， unfussy entertaining。 The journal has captured the imagination of readers nationwide， with content and an aesthetic that reflect a desire to go back to simpler times; to take a break from our busy lives; to build a community around a shared sensibility; and to foster the endless and energizing magic that results from sharing a meal with good friends。 Now there’s The Kinfolk Table， a cookbook from the creators of the magazine， with profiles of 45 tastemakers who are cooking and entertaining in a way that is beautiful， uncomplicated， and inexpensive。 Each of these home cooks—artisans， bloggers， chefs， writers， bakers， crafters—has provided one to three of the recipes they most love to share with others， whether they be simple breakfasts for two， one-pot dinners for six， or a perfectly composed sandwich for a solo picnic。

Beautifully photographed - truly hipster。 Have cooked some of the recipes， okay。

This book is beautiful to look at - gorgeous photos and layout。 Really lovely photos and profiles of the people sharing their recipes。 Unfortunately the recipes are not something that I would use in my day to day life or for entertaining。

Aesthetically a beautiful looking book that is easy to read and with great recipes such as the ginger ice cream。Looking forward to having dinner parties and making these foods。

A feel-good book to just suck in the mood from the pictures， people， houses， food。 But also just a bit pretentious， and makes one think， should I also have this sacred connection to eating？ And ability to casually entertain a group of people who show up unexpectedly？ Maybe that is something to aim。 I made the lemon lentil salad already twice and marked several other interesting recipes to try。 And regarding the recipe from Finland， I must remark that what is referred to as ”pulla” in the book is A feel-good book to just suck in the mood from the pictures， people， houses， food。 But also just a bit pretentious， and makes one think， should I also have this sacred connection to eating？ And ability to casually entertain a group of people who show up unexpectedly？ Maybe that is something to aim。 I made the lemon lentil salad already twice and marked several other interesting recipes to try。 And regarding the recipe from Finland， I must remark that what is referred to as ”pulla” in the book is actually ”korvapuusti”， a specific form of pulla。 Regular pulla is a round bun， made with the same dough but without the cinnamon filling。 。。。more

What can I say？ Kinfolk has a very specific aesthetic， and sticks to it closely in this book as well。 And while I like the clean， minimalist approach to many things in life， food is not one of them。Nonetheless， I did find a few recipes I want to ty （particularly of sweets/desserts）。 Just。。。not a lot of them。 Two things perplexed me: firstly， I do not understand the geographical divisions that function as the chapters in the book。 The idea is that the recipes come from the author's friends who li What can I say？ Kinfolk has a very specific aesthetic， and sticks to it closely in this book as well。 And while I like the clean， minimalist approach to many things in life， food is not one of them。Nonetheless， I did find a few recipes I want to ty （particularly of sweets/desserts）。 Just。。。not a lot of them。 Two things perplexed me: firstly， I do not understand the geographical divisions that function as the chapters in the book。 The idea is that the recipes come from the author's friends who live in those particular cities。 But I am not sure that reflects in the recipes themselves？ Those do not seem rooted in their location and felt like they could be swapped around - at least to me。 Secondly， I was surprised this was a recipe-only book， and areas such as table decor， food history， specialist interviews （all of which I think the Kinfolk team will excel in） were not touched at all。 However， this expertise did at least shine in the photos/layouts of the book， which was also easily its best part。 。。。more

The recipes were insipid as the boring text and photographs showcasing the pretentious AF， social media-tinged lifestyle of a couple of hipsters whom I find soulless。 Not inspiring and not one recipe I'm willing to serve to my friends。 The recipes were insipid as the boring text and photographs showcasing the pretentious AF， social media-tinged lifestyle of a couple of hipsters whom I find soulless。 Not inspiring and not one recipe I'm willing to serve to my friends。 。。。more

A little pretentious and very hipster and yet i didn't mind it。 The travel and fancyish recipes were a nice getaway in month 11 of the pandemic。 Definitely saving some recipes to try later。 A little pretentious and very hipster and yet i didn't mind it。 The travel and fancyish recipes were a nice getaway in month 11 of the pandemic。 Definitely saving some recipes to try later。 。。。more

This book is full of people you wish you could meet because you're sure they would become friends- artistic， creative people who can cook！ and know how to be hospitable。 I am going to try many of the recipes included in the book。 This book is full of people you wish you could meet because you're sure they would become friends- artistic， creative people who can cook！ and know how to be hospitable。 I am going to try many of the recipes included in the book。 。。。more

The recipes are interesting and unique。 Don't try to follow them though。 They're basically useless except as an idea-generator。 The stories are quasi-interesting， if you aspire to be so priviledge you can spend large amounts of time curating your life so deeply that nothing authentic remains。 Then you can get together with all your friends and write a book about yourselves with some recipes thrown in。 If it wasn't so visually stunning， I would've given it a lesser rating。 The recipes are interesting and unique。 Don't try to follow them though。 They're basically useless except as an idea-generator。 The stories are quasi-interesting， if you aspire to be so priviledge you can spend large amounts of time curating your life so deeply that nothing authentic remains。 Then you can get together with all your friends and write a book about yourselves with some recipes thrown in。 If it wasn't so visually stunning， I would've given it a lesser rating。 。。。more

Jag läser den som en bok snarare än som en kokbok。 Både delarna som beskriver människorna som delat med sig av recepten， men också recepten。Bilderna är väldigt vackra， och känns lagom stylade och lagom halv-spontana。 Hela boken är faktiskt väldigt vacker。Men recepten i sig inspirerar mig inte särskilt mycket egentligen。 Inte heller en majoritet av människorna。 De allra mest spännande människorna verkar vara de på slutet som inte är utvalda utifrån platsen de bor på。 Boken är nämligen uppdelad i Jag läser den som en bok snarare än som en kokbok。 Både delarna som beskriver människorna som delat med sig av recepten， men också recepten。Bilderna är väldigt vackra， och känns lagom stylade och lagom halv-spontana。 Hela boken är faktiskt väldigt vacker。Men recepten i sig inspirerar mig inte särskilt mycket egentligen。 Inte heller en majoritet av människorna。 De allra mest spännande människorna verkar vara de på slutet som inte är utvalda utifrån platsen de bor på。 Boken är nämligen uppdelad i olika områden - Brooklyn， Köpenhamn， Engelska "landsbygden"， Portland och "Wandering"。Allra bäst gillar jag nog de människor de faktiskt känner， för de beskrivs på ett mer naturligt sätt än det stundtals krystade sätt som nya bekantskaper beskrivs på。Dessutom saknas det en variation av människor här。 En absolut majoritet är vita män， eller vita kvinnor。 Några är asiater， och bara en eller två är svarta。 Och då är den ena ett adopterat barn som bara är med på en enda bild。 Mångfalden fattas liksom。 Även om flera av de vita har påbrå från andra delar av världen。 Med tanke på den mångfald som måste finnas i de stora städer de fokuserar på i boken， så känns den helt enkelt inte särskilt representativ。Men jag gillar att bläddra i den ändå。 För bildernas skull。 För trots bristen på mångfald är det som sagt en väldigt vacker bok。 。。。more

I enjoyed this read。 It was neat to dive into each person’s life that was providing a recipe。 I made a few of the recipes and they turned out well。 The photography was well done。 And I appreciated the focus on hospitality。 “They decided that a life of food， warmth， and open doors would be their way to care for friends and family—and so it is。” Inspired to get in the kitchen more and create， while keeping it simple and enjoying the company of others。

I enjoy the way this book combines the stories of people with their recipes， the photography is also gorgeous。 As a flexitarian I also appreciate that the majority of recipes happen to be vegan and vegetarian friendly。 My one complaint is that the finished food is often not photographed， I find it really helps when picking what to eat and also knowing what a recipe should look like while following it！ I get that this book leaned towards artistic photography but that doesn’t mean you need to sacr I enjoy the way this book combines the stories of people with their recipes， the photography is also gorgeous。 As a flexitarian I also appreciate that the majority of recipes happen to be vegan and vegetarian friendly。 My one complaint is that the finished food is often not photographed， I find it really helps when picking what to eat and also knowing what a recipe should look like while following it！ I get that this book leaned towards artistic photography but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the usefulness。 。。。more

I wonder， did the photographers specifically tell the people in this book to look unhappy and unsmiling？

One of the most beautiful， thoughtful cookbooks I have ever read。 I loved the recipes and the people。 They inspired me to cook more and look for more local ingredients， become more adventurous and up my own creative game。 I HIGHLY recommend this book if you at all love cooking for people and sharing time over food。

Cooking for me is an expression of love and appreciation for the people in my life， and I think this cookbook captured the essence of that feeling perfectly。 Not only that， but the author， Nathan Williams， brilliantly illustrated vivid portraits of the many uniquely wonderful artists and subjects of this book。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading their stories。 From the members of the band “We Barbarians” to the handsome part-time fisherman in the Pacific Northwest to Nathan’s mother and grandmother， ea Cooking for me is an expression of love and appreciation for the people in my life， and I think this cookbook captured the essence of that feeling perfectly。 Not only that， but the author， Nathan Williams， brilliantly illustrated vivid portraits of the many uniquely wonderful artists and subjects of this book。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading their stories。 From the members of the band “We Barbarians” to the handsome part-time fisherman in the Pacific Northwest to Nathan’s mother and grandmother， each person was someone I wanted to meet and break bread with and to discuss food， dining， and life with。 I think this cookbook resonates with me because it’s more than just a collection of recipes。 It’s stories and lives mingled with the delicious wonder of food。 No other book I’ve read， fiction or otherwise， has felt more relatable。 Truly， I loved every aspect of it， especially the stunningly beautiful yet completely simple photos of everyday life and the meals we eat as we experience it。 。。。more

NOTES: It's obvious in reading this that the author truly understand how to use social media。 His website requires subscriptions， the photographs emphasize linen shirts and homespun fabrics， weathered chipped pots of plants， fields of grains and flowers， and despite focusing on varied locales （New York， Portland， England， Denmark） the recipes often repeat on themselves like variations on granola （all beautifully portrayed and lit mind you。） Also， open faced sandwiches， sweet loaves and "vegetabl NOTES: It's obvious in reading this that the author truly understand how to use social media。 His website requires subscriptions， the photographs emphasize linen shirts and homespun fabrics， weathered chipped pots of plants， fields of grains and flowers， and despite focusing on varied locales （New York， Portland， England， Denmark） the recipes often repeat on themselves like variations on granola （all beautifully portrayed and lit mind you。） Also， open faced sandwiches， sweet loaves and "vegetable stews。" You finish the book feeling thoroughly manipulated into their lifestyle， so overall， I don't see the worth in this book as a viable， working book unless you yourself adhere to this lifestyle。 。。。more

Interesting concept of traveling， talking to people and collecting their recipes。 I loved the introduction， which explains the off-putting definitions of both "home-cooking" and "entertaining" as well as the description of casual evenings in college where friends gathered to cook together。 That was my experience， too。 Food does， and should， bring people together。 While some of these recipes seem a unnecessarily fussy， I bookmarked several to use in the future。 Interesting concept of traveling， talking to people and collecting their recipes。 I loved the introduction， which explains the off-putting definitions of both "home-cooking" and "entertaining" as well as the description of casual evenings in college where friends gathered to cook together。 That was my experience， too。 Food does， and should， bring people together。 While some of these recipes seem a unnecessarily fussy， I bookmarked several to use in the future。 。。。more

less successful I think than Kinfolk Home， which had the benefit of being organized in some thematic groups & including pages from the inhabitants about how their space affects work or family or life。 Kinfolk table is more spare in photography， and its thesis insofar as it is articulated is communal cooking & eating。 since it is nominally homogenous there is a grouping by geography。 the recipes don't engage me much & I would love to have more from the inhabitants。 less successful I think than Kinfolk Home， which had the benefit of being organized in some thematic groups & including pages from the inhabitants about how their space affects work or family or life。 Kinfolk table is more spare in photography， and its thesis insofar as it is articulated is communal cooking & eating。 since it is nominally homogenous there is a grouping by geography。 the recipes don't engage me much & I would love to have more from the inhabitants。 。。。more

The photographs are brilliant and the stories are interesting and I have actually tried 4 of the recipes with great success。 The Kinfolk phenomena has an almost zen quality about it。 Simple， being present in the moment and the sharing of intimacy via food。

This book is the Muggle equivalent of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them'。 An overly-thick tome with gorgeous photographs of fairy-like creatures in their pristine habitats， detailing what they eat and giving a glimpse of how they live。 I didn't finish reading this book。 The date indicates when I gave up。 Encyclopedias are only fun if you are very interested in the subject or if you're looking for something， which I'm neither。 Stars for the photography and layout though。 This book is the Muggle equivalent of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them'。 An overly-thick tome with gorgeous photographs of fairy-like creatures in their pristine habitats， detailing what they eat and giving a glimpse of how they live。 I didn't finish reading this book。 The date indicates when I gave up。 Encyclopedias are only fun if you are very interested in the subject or if you're looking for something， which I'm neither。 Stars for the photography and layout though。 。。。more
