A Place at the Table: Fresh Recipes for Meaningful Gatherings

Bestselling Lifeway Bible study author Kelly Minter is known not only for her passion for God’s Word, but for her ability to foster community over an inviting, delicious, and nourishing meal. Her own lifelong love for cooking and gardening paired with her many travels to the Amazon with chef Regina Pinto has resulted in rich spiritual and culinary experiences that will inspire your cooking and gatherings. More than an ordinary cookbook, A Place at the Table offers readers a chance to not only approach mealtimes with accessible recipes from a renowned chef, but also hear heartwarming, personal stories from Kelly herself and enjoy some spiritual encouragement too. For Kelly, meals should be more than just ingredients and décor, though these enhance the experience. Food has historically gathered people together, and in this cookbook, Kelly points readers to just that—opening their tables so others can have a place to experience the love of God and fellowship of his people. After all, some of the most meaningful moments in the Bible were experienced around food. This cookbook offers a delicious, unfussy selection of both well-known and novel dishes, and it also includes personal favorites from Kelly and Regina. Featuring fresh, whole or homegrown components, Kelly prioritizes the value of flavors that can only come with seasonal ingredients. As a bonus, there is supplemental material throughout, where the reader can hear more from Kelly and Regina about broths, seasonal drinks, canning, décor, growing herbs, and more. In these pages, Kelly’s humor and warmth shine through in each story, and the stunning photography inspires all readers to put their hand to the joy of cooking, offering others not just a meal, but a place to belong.RECIPE CORRECTIONSSpaghetti Bolognese - page 79 1 1/2 pound ground beef instead of 1/2 pound Can also use 2 can (16 oz) of whole tomatoes 1/2 cup heavy cream instead of 1/3 cup  Shortbread Cookies - page 107 1 1/2 cups of butter instead of 1/2 cup butter Beef Farro Soup - page 121 Add 2 cups of Beef Broth to the recipe Add it to Step 4 in the recipe Sun-Dried Tomato and Goat Cheese Frittata - page 187 The word “sauce” should be “saute” in step 3.
