An Ode to Living and Gathering in Nature A picnic on the beach.
Cocktails and a snack at sunset. Sharing a potluck meal around the
fire, and letting the night drift lazily along in the pleasures of
roasting marshmallows and swapping stories. Getting together in
nature, with food and drink, is among the most restorative rituals
we can experience, fostering a kind of intimacy and ease that's
rare in any other setting. Al Fresco, with its fresh, delicious
recipes and unexpected ideas, its tips for exploring new ways to
get outdoors, its interviews with dozens of kindred spirits, is an
inspiring and beautiful playbook for anyone who wants to spend more
time outside with friends and family. The credo is simple: Nature
opens us up to ourselves, and the food we share opens us up to each
other.
Wabi-Sabi Welcome applies the basic principles of the wabi-sabi
aesthetic to modern entertaining. It's about being ! attentive to
your guests (listen without being distracted; unplug), creating a
welcoming environment (leave the door unlocked; make time to be
together), choosing modest decor (dishes and furniture made from
materials that endure, such as wood or clay), decorating with
nature (with an emphasis on foraged, not store-bought, blooms),
finding beauty in imperfections (wrinkled linen napkins, along with
a relaxed attitude about late-coming guests), and much more. The
book is organised into chapters of five locations - Japan, Denmark,
California, France, and Italy - places where the approach to home
decor and entertaining best reflects wabi-sabi principles. The book
is complete with lush photography and practical checklists.
