The 56th issue of the Kinfolk magazine turns its gaze to California – exploring the Golden State not only as a physical place but also as a mythical idea where wellbeing, freedom and creativity intertwine with mountains, coastlines and urban pulse. The issue takes readers to Silver Lake, where music producer Emile Haynie hosts communal dinners in his studio, and further north to the handcrafted Blunk House – the nature-inspired home of artist JB Blunk. Food writer Rebekah Peppler shares a seasonal menu shaped by local ease and ingredients, while 103-year-old Betty Reid Soskin reflects on California’s history through the lens of her extraordinary life.
