EXTREMELY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT OUR QUEEN OF TURNIPS @beththefreerangechef’s COOKBOOK IS NOW LIVE FOR PRE-ORDER 👀🔥❤️

Beth’s beautiful book Retreat Kitchen has been a labour of love and a childhood dream of hers, and if I had a pound for every time someone on retreat asked her to write a cookbook I’d have many many pounds 💰

Beth and the amazing @matt_inwood also slowly and lovingly photographed all the food in the book over a year at Matt’s home, so she could create it all in tune with the seasons 🍂

We met on the very first Wild Times retreat in the woods @campwell.woods, and since then we have… laughed, danced, sang, cried, skinnydipped, swam, told ghost stories around campfires, washed up (A LOT), wandered around Rome, spent hundreds of euros on cheese in Italy because I might have fancied the cheese man, had just a couple of wines, celebrated many many birthdays with Colin the caterpillar cakes, celebrated New Year’s Eves, celebrated Beth’s wedding (literally I was the celebrant) and talked and talked and talked and talked.

It was on our retreat in Italy, retreating back to beautiful Lazio where Beth first started her retreat cheffing career years ago, that she got the call and found out she’d got a book deal. We all cried and celebrated with a Spritz, then jumping in the pool ✨

I always say she’s like a cross between the wholesome earthiness of @hughfearnleywhittingstall with the naughtiness of @nigellalawson, but no one is quite like Beth. Everyone on retreat falls in love with her (I think she puts spells in the food…)

Gorgeous Beth, congratulations. Retreat Kitchen is beautiful and I can feel your love and magic and talent in every recipe and every page. Plus photos from @matt_inwood, illustrations from @buce_multimedia_art, and extra words from @onewomanawake and me!

Please go and pre-order it now (pre-orders really really help ALL authors!) 🙏❤️

Official launch is February 4th, there will be many lovely events celebrating Retreat Kitchen next year including a launch at @toppingsbath on Feb 5th, plus our retreat with Beth at @campwell.farm next July 👀 🌳🫜

RETREAT KITCHEN IS HERE!!!!!

Gosh, even just typing that feels quite something. I’ve spent so long creating this book and have put all my bits and bobs in to it as well as extra sprinkles and a profusion of gubbins.

From my modest self published book I wrote with @matt_inwood in 2017 to a handful of photoshoots we did in between time with a view to something more being on its way, to my proposal, my wonderful agent and a book deal from @eleanor_maxfield @quartobooksuk that I still can’t quite believe I got. To now having pooled a glorious team of creatives with @clairehrochford on book design as well as bringing @buce_multimedia_art illustrations together for this magical front cover.

So now it’s up to you all to pre order, ready for its publication on February 4th 2027. All those who I’ve fed whether on retreat or at a supper club, whether I’ve overshared my love for turnips with you on a train, talked about beans in a festival field or sparked a conversation in a national trust garden over the painful beauty of nature. This book is for you to share, to inspire and to cover in greasy kitchen smears.

There is much more to share with you over the coming weeks including events, competitions and of course, me weeping whilst I unwrap the first hard copy of the book some time next month. So watch this space 😌

I love when a little nudge takes you down a photography memory lane.

@beththefreerangechef NEW book due out early next year captures all her love and experience of hosting as a retreat chef and I just think you’re going to love it.

With artwork and imagery from both @buce_multimedia_art and @matt_inwood this will be a feast for all the senses.

In the meantime, you can wallow here in my memories until it’s time to buy the book.

Pre orders open soon… 💫💫💫

It’s been a year since I opened the email finding within, my first book offer. Standing in the tiny piazza in Casperia, out for dinner on my night off and surrounded by retreat guests, looking out over the Lazio landscape as the sun slipped through sunset clouds. I’d told all the guests I was waiting for this email. Over sharing is my jam obviously and that could have back fired! @jennyeclark wasn’t sure whether these were happy or sad tears at first, as I’m generally prone to leaky eyes at anything that overwhelms me one way or the other. It was a moment I will always remember. A pure lightness and breath of untainted clarity. Very few times in life does a long standing dream come true. Especially when you have an underlying fear of failure or looking silly so you don’t put your dreams out there much. It has been a long and short year and I never could have imagined all the work that has gone into to creating this book. And I’ve created it with friends which is the best blooming bit! How lucky am I to have such talented and cosmic chums?!
There’s still a bit to do but pre orders will be ready later in the year and the book will be in your hands in time for you to unfurl and shine for spring 2027 🧡

Give me 🧡 if you’re planning to preorder!

Recent things seen and done.
Every single observation, experience and interaction gets added to the feedback loop in my head and soul. Documenting these moments feels essential to the process, even if I won’t see them again in a long time, or ever.
