Kristin 's Reviews > Magnolia Table, Volume 2: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering

I think that everything Joanna touches turns to gold anyways but this book is just another notch in the book of fab. I am no different then Joanna, when her introduction talks about how food isn't just a means to an end but a whole experience. Food allows people to come together and bond over something delicious and comforting. Food to me is a whole experience; that starts with an idea of what to cook and ends in a feeling and experience when you're serving and eating. That's exactly what this book does. It feels comfy, homey, but also gorgeous and classic. Nothing is pretencious and everything is super easy for all skill levels. All the way down the the editing of the photos and the texture of the pages it makes me want to be on the farm surrounded by animals and lush green pastures. Total fan girl.
