Gill Meller

Championed by Diana Henry, Nigella and Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, Gill Meller is the celebrated head chef at the River Cottage who brought us the award-winning, Gather.  His highly anticipated new book, Time 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. Gill’s unique dishes move through the seasons, from freshness and light, to comfort and warmth. simple breakfasts (wild mushroom & sausage chachouka, buckwheat pancakes), glorious seasonal lunches (steamed vegetables with tamari, honey & sunflower seeds, 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, quince & vanilla creme brulee).

This will be a wonderful evening, celebrating the very best of modern British cooking, from one of our exciting voices in food writing.
