i'm in love...

...with a cookbook!  it's time to catch up a bit here in blog land, but i really enjoyed the slow-down afforded by 5 days of being snowed in (or rather, out of my house.  endless thanks to my generous hosts--i owe you!).  nature reminds me in a really healthy way that i am not in charge and it is a good reminder to unplug and follow a more natural rhythm. if you have not yet discovered kinfolk by nathan williams, you must!  their magazine is all about things to cook, make and do.  and their first cookbook is, well, worth falling in love with (this is Valentine's week, afterall).  not only is the book itself beautiful, but so are the ideas and concepts inside.  they've featured people from all over the world and organized it into sections (brooklyn, denmark, portland!) and filled it with art-worthy photos, lots of relaxing white space and delicious recipes.  magazine edition nine is all about weekends, work/rest balance and the art of savoring the moment. for more links to their lifestyle pages, travel, work and play treat yourself to www.kinfolk.com
