Gather

‘Gather is a book I wish to open every morning and pore over every evening. With his gentle alchemy, Gill Meller shows us the sheltered woods and wind-swept moors in dishes that cry out to be made, straight away.’ – Amy Bryant, Daily Telegraph

‘In Gather Gill Meller encourages us not only to embrace our landscape through the shifting seasons, but to explore what is quietly growing out there, to enjoy it, and to turn it into something delicious. This is a truly beautiful book.’ – René Redzepi

‘Gather is a perfect expression of something food writers have been trying to define for the past three decades modern British cooking.’ – Diana Henry, Telegraph Magazine

Gather is a cookbook that celebrates simplicity and nature, both in ingredients and cooking styles. Head Chef at River Cottage for 10 years, Gill Meller showcases 120 brand new recipes inspired by the landscapes in which he lives and works. Featuring chapters on foods from Moorland (game and herbs), Garden (tomatoes, salads, soft fruits), Farm (pork, dairy, honey), Field (rye, barley, wheat, oats), Seashore (crab, seaweed, oysters), Orchard (apples, pears, cherries), Harbour (fish and seafood), and Woodland (mushrooms, damsons, blackberries), Gill gently guides the reader through simple recipes, with no need for obscure ingredients or complicated cooking.

With great food at its heart, Gather is the most contemporary of cookbooks, with photography that captures a year of the best cooking and eating.
