Gill writes for numerous publications including Delicious magazine, and his first book, Gather, won the Fortnum and Mason award for Best Debut Food Book in 2017.
"I love Gill Meller's food: it is completely his own, and ranges
from the (unpretentiously) rarified to the smile-inducingly cosy;
indeed, he often seems to fuse the two. An intensely personal book,
this brings you into his life and his kitchen. And as with his
first book Gather, his recipes make me want to run headlong
into the kitchen." * Nigella Lawson *
"Gill Meller's latest cookbook, Time, is poetic and romantic
- a string of beautiful recipes guide you through the seasons. Fig
and seville marmalade buns are perfect for a warming winter
breakfast while fried mackerel with tomatoes, garlic and herbs are
quintessential summer." * Yotam Ottolenghi, Guardian *
"Producing a second book as good as your first ... is not easy, but
this is every bit as good and, in fact, more approachable for the
home cook. The recipes follow the curve of the day, from breakfast
to dinner - hence the title - and you want to make them all...
Meller constantly delivers the unexpected, though not just for the
sake of novelty, and the recipes are never complicated." * Diana
Henry, Sunday Telegraph *
"Packed with alluring and do-able recipes plus poetic snatches of
writing, this is a cookbook to pick up and savour when you need
inspiration... It feels confident, complete." * Observer Food
Monthly *
"Time, by Gill Meller is a book filled with homely cooking,
nostalgic in ways but with new and beautiful flavour combinations.
Meller has a real feel for simple but seriously evocative cooking."
* Cliodhna Prendergast, The Sunday Times *
"Gill Meller's book Time is one of my favourites this year... the
recipes are lovely and unpretentious, completely un-cheffy." * Katy
Mcguinness, Irish Times *
"Chef, teacher and delicious. columnist Gill Meller is one of the
most talented cooks and writers in Britain. His second book, a
sweep of seasonal recipes from a cook's year, is one you should buy
for yourself andall your friends. There's a simplicity and honesty
to Gill's food and this will be a kitchen companion for ages to
come." * delicious magazine *
