Queen of dinner parties, Karen Mordechai, is the founder of Sunday Suppers – a monthly dinner party series in Brooklyn that is so our vibe, it’s surprising Karen hasn’t graced our pages sooner!

Mordechai’s spot-on curation of minimally-packaged kitchen staples, ILA Collection, is also a TCM treasure (this olive oil belongs in a jewelry box). And her recent undertaking, a gorgeous quarterly named Simple Fare,  has us swooning for the brand on a whole other level.

We secretly consider Karen and her bouquet of brands as part of our Chalkboard community, although we’ve never met. We’ve got that sense of far-away pride that so many of us do for the businesses we admire – but have no official connection to – as we watch them rise.

We asked Karen to join our fave foodie series, In My Fridge that takes us inside the kitchens and fridges of chefs, cooks and entertainers we admire. Read through and put a few of her well-seasoned tips into action…
