- time spent in the kitchen, with good ingredients, makes for the best possible way of life. Morning, daytime & night
- these are the touchstones of our days, & days are the markers of our years. Gill`s unique dishes fit within this framework, moving through the seasons, from freshness & light, to comfort & 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.

Beautiful writing, beautiful food, this is an exquisite book that I cannot stop reading.` Nigella Lawson ` My book of the autumn & possibly of the year...
