the kinfolk table: recipes for small gatherings

　　美國飲食生活雜誌《Kinfolk》自2011年發行以來，每期都以144頁、無廣告的精緻內容傳達低調、純淨與簡單的生活樂趣，引發讀者的熱烈迴響。精要的文字、獨特的生活美學似乎正反映出大眾渴望單純、期盼從日常的庸庸碌碌裡透一口氣，與志趣相投的朋友共同感受世界的美好，不時還能藉聚餐共享生命的熱情與喜悅。

　　《The Kinfolk Table: Recipes for Small Gatherings》是《Kinfolk》首度嘗試推出的食譜集，延續雜誌一貫的編輯風格，畫面乾淨俐落，圖文疏落有致。書中邀集了45位橫跨各行各業的參與者，包括藝人、部落客、大廚、作家、麵包師傅與工匠等，每人提供一至三道最樂於分享的家常料理，從一個人的野餐到六個人的大餐都完整收錄。每一道食譜除了明確的製作步驟，讀者們還能透過參與者們的背景介紹，感染他們美妙、簡單與自然質樸的生活態度。(文/博客來編譯)

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
