Founder of A Table Top Affair and author of The Living Table cookbook, Abby Kuykendall offers an encouraging resource for the hesitant host, with practical advice and biblical inspiration to navigate the beautiful challenges and profound rewards of welcoming others into your home and around your table.

Many Christians would love to welcome others into their homes, but their passion for hospitality gets stuck on their less-than-perfect decorating scheme and the dirty dishes in the sink. In Let the Biscuits Burn, Abby Kuykendall helps readers reclaim hospitality as a practice of intentional kindness that is less about performance and more about presence, less about entertaining and more about serving, less about looking good and more about seeing others.

Let the Biscuits Burn calls and equips readers to weave the transformative practice of hospitality into the fabric of a busy life as they

understand the differences between cultural entertaining and Christlike hospitality;master the art of the invite and confidently open their homes and lives to others; learn how hospitality looks different in different seasons of life;gain a deeper understanding of who God is and why he calls all Christians to hospitality; and use the life of Jesus as a template for gathering, sharing meals, and loving well.

Building a rich, deeply connected life has little to do with the perfect tapas board. Let the Biscuits Burn urges readers to open the door, set the table, and see what God does next.

About the Author

Abby Kuykendall

Abby Turner Kuykendall is a newly married thirtysomething who grew up in a home that taught her marriage is what happens after you graduate. But, after graduating from Ouachita Baptist University, she went to graduate school at Baylor--single--and mourned every sense of the word. That led her to discover the power of the table in building a flourishing, God-centered community. Over the next five years, Abby developed her love of food, photography, and human behavior. This ultimately led her to begin her blog, A Table Top Affair. While Abby found her stride in her corporate career, she found meaningful purpose around her table, which led her to write her debut cookbook, The Living Table. Abby lives with her husband, Kyle, in northwest Arkansas. They welcomed their son, John Maverick, in April 2024.
