Get ready for a gourmet getaway like no other. Join Gill Meller for an immersive foodie event at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers to celebrate the New Zealand launch of his critically-acclaimed cookbook Gather.
A core member of television’s River Cottage team for more than 11 years, Gill champions natural ingredients and qualities they possess through his simple, seasonal cooking.
Bringing with him nurturing flavours and philosophies from the small fishing town of Lyme, Dorset to the rolling green hills of Hawke’s Bay, Gill is sure to inspire.
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers.
Starting on Friday evening with an informal reading of Gather, you’ll be able to settle in fireside with a glass of wine and discuss the book with Gill.
Saturday will begin with a trip to The Farm vegetable gardens, where you’ll gather produce for the cooking class. Watch as Gill demonstrates how to prepare some of his signature no-frills dishes and learn exactly how to replicate them at home.
Gill is famed for his honest approach to food and ingredients.
In the evening you’ll experience the weekend’s highlight – a five-course gourmet tasting menu based on recipes from Gather and matched to Alpha Domus wines. Winemaker Barry Riwai will host the dinner and take you through the special wine matches.
With plenty of spare time to enjoy the luxurious surroundings at The Farm, this is a weekend to gather friends together and indulge in simple pleasures delivered by a master.
