Root Stem Leaf Flower: How to Cook with Vegetables and Other Plants – Cookbook Giveaway
April 6, 2021 by JennyEnter our US/UK/AU/NZ giveaway to win one of three copies of Root Stem Leaf Flower: How to Cook with Vegetables and Other Plants by Gill Meller.

Gill is a chef, food writer, author, food stylist and cookery teacher and has been part of the River Cottage team for 11 years. In 2017, he answered some questions for our members to celebrate Gather. While he has collaborated on several River Cottage titles, Pig & Pork, A to Z, and Outdoor Cooking, Gather was his first solo book. He followed with Time: A Year and a Day in the Kitchen and now Root Stem Leaf Flower – published in 2020 in the UK and in the US in March of this year. I do not own the River Cottage titles, but I know Meller’s three solo titles are beautiful.
Our takes you inside this book and features the following
- An omelette of new potatoes, smoked garlic, onions and cheddar
- New potato and nettle soup
- Broad bean rye crispbreads with artichokes and mint
- Courgette flatbreads with lots of herbs and goat’s cheese

This is a cookbook about plants and making the most of the land’s bounty in our everyday cooking. Making small changes to the way we cook and eat can both lessen the impact we have on the environment and dramatically improve our health and wellbeing: good for us and for future generations to come.
With 120 original recipes, every dish captured with gorgeous imagery, and Gill’s ideas for using the very best fresh ingredients, this title is a thoughtful, inspiring collection of recipes that you’ll want to come back to again and again.
