Open Kitchen: Inspired Food for Casual Gatherings
By Susan Spungen
Given that she was the founding Food Editor at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and the culinary consultant and food stylist on the films Julie & Julia, It’s Complicated, and Eat, Pray, Love, it’s safe to say Susan Spungen knows her way around good food, and a good kitchen. Even better: she, too, is from Colorado and we got to know each other via Instagram! Not only does she provide simple, delicious recipes for entertaining, but she explores her “get ahead” philosophy that encourages an open, streamlined kitchen space, both in preparation and serving, that will make for the easiest, breeziest dining experience for both the chef and their guests. My favorite dish I return to is “Fried Black Rice with Shrimp, Shiitakes and Shishitos,” but every dish seems to find the right balance between fresh and comfort food.
