A collection of recipes, crafts, and activities to bring your family together in the kitchen, from the author of Simple Pleasures of the Garden.

The kitchen really is the heart of the home. It’s the first place family and friends gather, not only to prepare and eat food, but to chat, sip tea, snack on home-baked cookies, unwind after a tough day, and reconnect with loved ones.

The latest in the Simple Pleasures series of books, Simple Pleasures of the Kitchen captures the essence of the kitchen. It offers a cornucopia of recipes, food-based crafts, food facts and tips, and family activities, as well as stories from kitchens around the world sure to warm anyone’s heart, no matter what the weather.

Organized by season, the book offers: Spring Flings, The Savor of Summer, Autumn’s Abundance, and Cozying Up in Winter.

Recipes include comforting mashed potatoes, fresh summer risotto, delicious meatloaf, and heart-warming brownies and popovers. The super-simple jam recipe will go great with popovers, or as a gift in jars you’ve decorated yourself. You can satisfy your sweet tooth and your soul at the same time!
