This week, Gilly is celebrating the poetry and timelessness of the great outdoors with award winning author and chef, Gill Meller. Outside is Gill's latest cook book which takes us to the elemental beauty of his home on the Jurassic coast on the Dorset and Devon border, just down the road from River Cottage where he has worked as a chef and tutor. His previous books Gather, Time and Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower have all captured this slice of Heaven, but Gill says that cooking outside doesn’t just have to be in the most beautiful place in the world; this is about slowing down anywhere and enjoying the magical simplicity of being outdoors.If you fancy joining Gilly in learning to cook at Leiths, you can get a discount for Cooking the Books listeners.
