Gill Meller is the cook we turn to time and again for seasonal cooking. His cooking philosophy celebrates the wonderful relationship between food, nature and the outdoors — and his recipes reflect the beauty in all three. Whether it’s foraging or cooking out on an open fire, his food encapsulates everything we love about eating with the seasons throughout the year.

Working closely with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and River Cottage, Gill appears regularly on the much loved Channel 4 series and also produces recipe videos for the River Cottage food-tube channel. He also teaches both at the River Cottage Cookery School and internationally.

A contributor to the Telegraph, Guardian, delicious. Magazine, and Country Living to name but a few, Gill’s first book, Gather (2016), won the Fortnum & Mason Award for Best Debut Food Book, and both Time (2018) and Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower (2020) were nominated for the Guild of Food Writers Cookbook of the Year. He is also the author of the River Cottage Handbook on Outdoor Cooking, and his upcoming book Outside will be released in May 2022.
