Our cookbook of the week is Kin by Marie Mitchell, a London-based chef, writer and co-founder of Island Social Club.

Jump to the recipes: mango chutney, reef chicken and sweet tangy coleslaw.

For chef Marie Mitchell, food is legacy. Archiving and cooking family recipes helped her navigate grief and loss. Nearly a decade ago, when Mitchell started a supper club with her Jamaican-born parents in London, England, food made her feel closer to her late brother, Richard. Years later, her cookbook debut, Kin (W. W. Norton & Company, 2025), took on new meaning with the death of her mother, Barbara.
