This book is beautifully tailored and has approachable recipes. 

Karen Mordechai was one of the first to redefine "entertaining" as "gathering"--in other words, not as a production of complicated dishes and decor, but as the intimate act of eating together at home. Sunday Suppers features Karen's achingly beautiful photography and 100 recipes centered around get-togethers (a beach lunch, an urban picnic, Valentine's Day breakfast in bed) with easy preparations (you can actually make the whole menu!) and simple, elegant styling.
