Gather for a group meal and you'll likely gain as much from the shared experience as you will from the food, if not more. That's the belief of New York Times editor and food writer Sam Sifton, who has authored an engaging cookbook endorsing regular dinners for family and friends, called See You on Sunday. Sifton's 200 recipes are well written and beautifully illustrated, and include informative introductions.

[A] big-hearted book... it will effortlessly stock a freezer until we all break bread together again.

[W]hat truly makes [Sam Sifton's] food writing so relatable is that he's a husband and dad who genuinely loves to gather people around his own table, and believes the world would be a better place if more of us got in the habit of it.

I'm in the front pew of Sam Sifton's church of cooking...

Part primer, part pep talk, See You on Sunday is altogether convincing, thanks to the voice of a man who is both home cook and culinary pro.

Mr. Sifton's sense of 'come one, come all' hospitality, honed years ago in church basements and drafty Brooklyn lofts, comes through on every page, and the recipes - from folksy classics like Mississippi Roast and Grandma Pizza to more esoteric dishes such as Fairy Tale Eggplants With Goat Cheese and Mint - are plentiful and delicious.

A book to make home cooks, and those they feed, very happy indeed.

Sam Sifton has years of recipe-collecting experience from his work at the Gray Lady, and in this comforting bear-hug of a cookbook, he shares some of his most interesting and beautifully told food nuggets from his Southern friends - collard greens in potlikker, Texas chili, and Pableaux Johnson's perfect pot of Louisiana red beans and rice included.

Sam Sifton, the Food Editor at the New York Times, has a compelling theory about the social and emotional benefits of hosting regular, low-key dinners for friends and immediate family, and his See You on Sunday offers an easy-to-follow blueprint for how to pull it off without much trouble at all. Along the way, he imparts bits of kitchen wisdom and technique that readers can tuck away for future use when they're ready to put down recipes and wing it on their own.

Sam Sifton's See You on Sunday: A Cookbook for Family and Friends doubles as a manifesto on the importance of gathering people regularly for home-cooked meals as well as a smart, bighearted handbook for doing just that. The generosity of spirit in this book mirrors the generosity Sifton... would like us to show our friends and family.

Sifton, the food editor at the New York Times, has done something remarkable: He's created a cookbook that feels more like a manifesto (in a good way) for enrichment, of body, mind and soul. The cookbook a joy to sit down and read, even when you're not cooking or not even planning on doing so. The recipes are, of course, superb... and they are handsomely illustrated.

New York Times food editor Sifton delivers a lush and fun guide to creating memorable Sunday dinners for large groups of friends and family... This is an excellent resource for family meals that readers will turn to time and again.

Sifton reminds us to entertain, to do it often, and to not take it too seriously... The resultant recipes are decidedly unfancy, come together effortlessly, and are meant to be shared.
