Kinfolk volume 25, paperback/kinfolk

Issue Twenty-Five The fall issue of Kinfolk explores one of lifes simplest pleasures: sharing a meal.

The act of eating together--whether at a well-appointed table or in the simple breaking of bread--is an essential element of a well-lived life.

As MFK Fisher famously wrote, sharing a meal can be more intimate than sharing a bed.

In this issue, we examine the role of food in forming and sustaining relationships, its place in art and political history, and its significance to the arbiters contemporary culture.

We visit a breadmaker in her Brooklyn studio, test a curated selection of recipes by a celebrated chef, thumb the pages of Dalis surrealist cookbook and revisit MFK Fishers seminal writing on the joy of simple meals.
