"The kitchen table is the beating heart of any home and Sophie Hansen brings us into hers with her new book 'around the kitchen table'. Sophie's natural warmth, excellent and comforting recipes and prowess for simple crafts combine on these pages to bring us something so delightful and joyful that I honestly can't wait to bring these ideas to life on my own kitchen table. This book is not just about food and crafts, it's about bringing some lightness and joy into our lives." Danielle Alvarez, author of Always Add Lemon
