A.G. Cook, Kinfolk - Issue 54

This issue of Kinfolk, which publishes just in time for the holiday season, draws on our origins as a guide for small gatherings and celebrates coming togetherwhether round a table, at a wedding, for cocktails or during the holidaysas a meaningful pursuit.

Of course, the art of togetherness can be a little more complicated for those hosting. To make the process easier, weve approached creative cooks, florists and artists for their expert ideas, tips and advice, creating a 64-page section full of inspiration for your next party. Youll find ideas for every occasion, from simple recipes for new drinks to serve on a Saturday night to advice on decorating a low-key (and low-cost) wedding.

Elsewhere in the issue, we meet A.G. Cook, the hyperpop music producer who makes a case that even the most overplayed tunes on the radio can be feats of intense creative exploration. In Toronto, Matty Matheson shares insights from his experience as a chef, restauranteur and actor.
