Synopsis

Kinfolk is a slow lifestyle magazine that explores ways for readers to simplify their lives, cultivate community and spend more time with their friends and family. It is the place to discover new things to cook, make and do. The growing international community is generous when it comes to sharing ideas for small gatherings and living a grounded, balanced lifestyle that is about connecting and making conversation.

The winter issue of Kinfolk revisits one of our guiding principles: good hospitality.

Featuring a special section dedicated to the art of hosting, Issue Thirty looks beyond recipe repertoires and honed housekeeping to unearth the secret ingredients of having a good time. Drilling down into the heart of hospitality, we investigate its five pillars: acceptance, comfort, empathy, entertainment and trust. How has the rise in peer-to-peer services such as Airbnb changed our relationship to having strangers in our home? Does a lack of formality translate into a more comfortable environment, or do subtle rules actually make it easier for people to know how to behave? And, how do you get a guest to leave?

We receive expert advice on hospitality from leading hoteliers, culinary artists, salon hosts and party planners, and meet wunderkind chef Flynn McGarry - host of New Yorker - who has reviewed dinner parties since the age of thirteen. Elsewhere, we speak to actress Teyonah Parris - star of the forthcoming James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk - explore seasonal subjects such as hunkering down, hometowns and ghost stories, plus much more.
