Al Fresco celebrates unfussy, unconventional, easygoing living, showcasing how close-to-nature entertaining and gathering can take shape anywhere outdoors – by the beach, in the mountains, in the city, in the suburbs, in the desert. With a blend of 25 interviews with individuals, couples, and families across a variety of demographics and backgrounds; beautiful photos; visual and reflective essays; poetic ruminations; and recipes, this book is a breath of fresh air for anyone looking to bridge indoor life with the outdoors, and seeking inspirational ideas for how to achieve this lifestyle. Organised by location of gathering – By the Water, At Home, Open Spaces, Intimate Spaces, Under the Sun, and more – each chapter will include practical and easy takeaways, like 'Ways to Reset in the Sun'; 'Things to Do Outside with a Friend'; 'Things to Ponder on a Sunny Day'; and 'Ideal Snacks for Easy Get-Togethers'.
