Award-winning food writer Gill Meller has distilled into Time the essence of his approach to food and cooking: how time spent in the kitchen with good ingredients makes for the best possible way of life. The recipes and the images in this beautiful book move through the course of a day and of the seasons of the year, going from freshness and light to comfort and warmth. 

As Gill says in the introduction, they are recipes inspired by seasonal ingredients and a love of simple cooking. This is joyous food from a chef, food writer and teacher who has worked closely with River Cottage for over 12 years. Gill writes for numerous publications and his first book, Gather, won the Fortnum & Mason award for Best Debut Food Book in 2017. Time: a year and a day in the kitchen was shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2019.
