A collection from the venerable Best of Bridge collaborative that celebrates what’s on the table and who’s around it. Quick and easy meals will always hold a special place in our hearts especially during a hectic and time-pressed work week. Sometimes, it’s wonderful to take the time to put a meal together with a little extra care and love, and sit around the table with family and friends to savor both the food and the company. Hence, the concept of Sunday Suppers: dinners that inspire talking and laughing with the people who are most important. Best of Bridge has always been about home entertaining, inviting people in and feeding them well – socializing and connecting around a delicious meal. It doesn’t have to be extravagant – batches of dough and toppings or a pot of braised meat set out on the table with tortillas and accompaniments make it pizza or taco night. Summer provides the opportunity to fire up the grill and enjoy a meal of Chicken Grilled Under a Brick on a lazy, sun-filled patio. Creating Foolproof Prime Rib or Middle-Eastern Lamb Stew with Chickpeas, having a special occasion that calls for something different like Braised Beef Short Ribs with Cranberries, or needing some simple ideas that will bring family back around the table like Coconut Sweet Potato Soup or Classic Roast Chicken, this collection of recipes definitely celebrates what’s on the table and who’s around it.
