The Kinfolk Table Cookbook

Go buy The Kinfolk Table immediately. You guys know I read a ton, but this book is worth buying or renting for every single person who reads this blog. This is more than a cookbook with beautiful photos. It is brimming with features and stories on people from all over who 'get' what it means to share a meal with someone. This is not a flip through book full of eye candy. It's worth your time. And I've already marked a ton of recipes I can't wait to try. 

This book is my style of entertaining: nothing overly fancy schmancy (although yes, I do like to dress up for a good event). Just friends hanging out with good and simple food that's healthy and sustainable. At $35, this book is a total steal and perhaps just right for someone on your holiday shopping list.
