A Common Table

These days, there's such a commonality in our food: what we make is rarely the product of one culture, and recipes that may seem culturally dissimilar are actually richly woven together. That's the concept behind A Common Table, written by photographer and food stylist, Cynthia Chen McTernan. Her recipes are made for the home cook who wants to incorporate those flavors without following long, daunting directions. Her style is a mishmash fusion that marries traditions from the South, China, and Korea to create dishes that are inspired and unique. Cynthia's kitchen has many influences and will inspire readers to step out of their culinary comfort zones.
