Time
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 crème brûlée).
This is the best of modern British cooking, from the most exciting new voice in food writing.

This is a wonderful book to read. There are many lovely recipes to try including home made bacon. I have yet to make any of these recipes, but I have a long list to explore. As well as excellent photographs of food, there are photographs of kitchens at different times of the day. This really fits well with the theme of time by which this book is structured. These are kitchens which are well used, and full of the detritus of living. This is a joyful and fitting part to this book. I really enjoyed reading this book, and look forward to exploring the recipes. This book appeals to character and setting. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

There are so many recipes available on the web nowadays, that I rarely buy cookbooks anymore, but I'm glad I made an exception for Gill Meller's "Time", it really is a lovely book. Time as the theme of the book, follows both time during the day (morning, day, night) and during the seasons.. evoking food memories, and inspiring us to make time for cooking and eating as a family. The recipes are straightforward, and the food is unpretentious and unfussy, while also honest and charming. The book is full of delicious fare, and I'm enjoying working my way through it, I've already added a few recipes to my regular rotation.

This is one to cook my way through every recipe. Maybe that'll be a project in 2020.

Lovely book about REAL food, but 4 stars because some of the recipes require obscure ingredients like nettle. Where am I going to get nettle if I don't live in a forest?
