The kitchen is where we gather for nourishment-of both body and spirit-for tea, for chats, for so much more than just preparing food. In Simple Pleasures of the Kitchen, Susannah Seton offers a collection of recipes, food-related crafts, and family activities, as well as stories from kitchens around the world to warm you no matter what the weather.

Included are recipes for comforting mashed potatoes, fresh summer risotto, and heartwarming popovers and brownies. Try the super-simple jam recipe to spread on your popover or give as a gift in jars you've decorated yourself. Satisfy your sweet tooth-and your soul-at the same time.
