Reviews

'Just stunning. There's no one I'd rather cook for me than Gill and there's not a recipe here I wouldn't eagerly devour.'

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

'In both cooking and writing, Gill Meller has a unique and honest voice. No-one elses food is more true to the place where they live. He's an original. This book perfectly reflects his approach.'

Diana Henry

Not only has [Meller] broken out with an astonishingly beautiful book but his combination of creativity, technique and natural ingredients is effectively a redefinition of seasonal British cooking.
