Around the Table is the debut cookbook by Shea McGee. Created first and foremost as an heirloom of treasured McGee family recipes, each page blends design with food as Shea shares her essential hosting tips, menus, and most-loved meals.

As co-author, I served as the sole recipe developer and food stylist for the project, as well as the primary editor and project manager. Working alongside Shea and a talented team of our visual stylists, photographer, gaffing crew, and florist, this book is a true labor of love.

My role in this project was expansive, but it had a singular goal: to transform stories, memories, and feelings into recipes that can be visited again and again.
