Time: A Year and a Day in the Kitchen

Time is the highly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning Gather. In it Gill Meller distills the essence of his approach to food and cooking – time spent in the kitchen, with good ingredients, makes for the best possible way of life. Morning, daytime and night – these are the touchstones of our days, and days are the markers of our years. Gill`s unique dishes fit within this framework, moving through the seasons, from freshness and light, to comfort and warmth. Gill`s dishes follow the course of the day: simple breakfasts (wild mushroom & sausage chachouka, buckwheat pancakes), glorious seasonal lunches (steamed vegetables with tamari, honey & sunflower seeds, chicken with chamomile, tomato & anchovy tart, date, olive oil & fennel cake), evening gatherings in the soft glow of summer or chill of winter (lentil dhal with crispy kale, roast pheasant with parsnips & chorizo, ceviche with rhubarb, lemon & chilli, treacle tart with thyme & orange, quince & vanilla creme brulee).This is the best of modern British cooking, from the most exciting new voice in food writing.Praise for Gill`s previous book, Gather: `Gather does for contemporary British food what Ottolenghi has done for contemporary Middle Eastern cooking… Beautiful writing, beautiful food, this is an exquisite book that I cannot stop reading.` Nigella Lawson `My book of the autumn and possibly of the year… Gather is a perfect expression of something food writers have been trying to define for the past three decades: modern British cooking.` Diana Henry
