I have been a fan of the Kinfolk Magazine for awhile now. I look at it for personal inspiration on cooking and gatherings, and often try to work in ways for my clients to be written about in their pages.
“We’re about living with intention, thinking about what you’re doing and trying to enjoy the smaller things, like a meal, a conversation, time out with friends“, says Kinfolk’s founder.
So when I found out that they were having Kinfolk neighborhood dinners all around the world on the same day, themed “L’ESPRIT DE LA MER”, I signed up for dinner-for-two with my husband. There were 22 dinners, in places as far away as Spain, New Zealand, Portugal, Japan, Turkey, and Germany. The closest northeast location was in Brooklyn, and the host, Karen Mordechai with Sunday Suppers, a communal cooking center. The photographs I took during the evening follow. It was such a pleasure to watch the pretty evening unfold. I hope you enjoy and get inspired.
