THE GATHERED TABLE is a book I worked on last November 2022. I was commissioned to cook, style, and photograph the 55 dishes. I was taken aback by just how good the recipes are in this new publication. Rarely have I worked on a job like this where I would want to cook from the book repeatedly.

Home means many things. It’s a place for family, friends and solitude. It’s a safe haven and a retreat. It provides shelter, security and independence. And for those who have lived without a home, it means everything.

The Gathered Table: A Taste of Home is a collection of 55 recipes from Ireland’s food world. Bakers and butchers, farmers and food champions, producers, shopkeepers and chefs have shared their most cherished recipes, all for a good cause.

Compiled by Gather & Gather, whose ethos is about using food to bring people together, all proceeds from this book will go to Peter McVerry Trust, the national housing and homelessness charity whose work is needed now more than ever. In buying this book, you will be helping Peter McVerry Trust to change more lives and give more people a home of their own ­with a table at the heart of it to gather around.
