Gathering Outside: Recipes to Enjoy Outdoors—on the Road or at Home

An invitation to revel in the joy of food and fresh air, this beautiful cookbook meets you wherever you want to go—whether that’s an all day hike or just as far as your patio. 

When we’re outdoors, we can gather other people; we can gather our thoughts and recenter ourselves; we can definitely gather good things to eat. From grilling and picnics to après-ski, backyard cookouts, and outdoor entertaining for every season–Gathering Outside is an ode to the joy of gathering friends, family, or sometimes just gathering yourself outside. 

Featuring a selection of bright, comforting vegetarian recipes—Sweet Corn and Poblano Pasta Salad, Charred Broccoli with Whipped Tahini, Caesar Pizza, Tandoori-Spiced Tofu, and Blackberry Ricotta Cake among them—the first set of recipes is for explorers. How can you have a beautiful, delicious meal packed in a backpack to pull out mid-bike ride, or what do you bring in a brown bag breakfast to eat on a paddle board? Learn how to prepare a feast on live fire with a decked out camp kitchen, or how to prep and pack for eating lunch inside your car while on a road trip. And for the homebodies who just want a little fresh air, a pizza party on the patio or a garden brunch await, with recipes, tips, and tricks to perfect the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. 

With gorgeous scene-setting landscape images of her northern California travels, and step-by-step illustrations to pull you through the technical elements, Gathering Outside is the outdoor cooking and entertaining book that does it all.
