Who is this guy?

Hi everyone, I’m Rob,

Small child eating biscuits in a Walkers Crisp box
Food obsessed since 1985

Husband to a beautiful wife and Dad to a gorgeous little girl.  I’m pretty sure you and I have something in common…a love of food. For anyone to even find these words they must have trawled through a fair few Google pages before they came across this site, but here it is ‘Gather’. My little space on this rather large web, a place where I’m going to share with you everything that I’ve learnt so far on the topic of food.  I’ve been obsessed with food from day one. My parents learned quickly that to keep me quiet and out of mischief, food was unrivalled in its effectiveness.  As you can see in the picture, the key to keeping an unruly Rob quiet involved a cardboard box and some biscuits, a technique that would probably still work today. My love of food has grown over the years, as has my understanding of it. Through reading a million cookbooks, travelling and cooking my way around the world, studying professionally, then running my own wedding catering business, I’ve learnt an awful lot about everything culinary. I’d like to use this blog to share with you my love of food through lots of delicious recipes and helpful tips. Thanks so much for coming, I really hope you like it here.

The recipes

I love food of all sorts, but I’ve recently adopted a way of eating that is lower in carbs and I really am enjoying the benefits of it. I find it works well at stabilising energy and hunger levels, as well as helping me to combat the well-known phenomenon that is the dreaded ‘dad bod’. If you love the carbs, hopefully there’ll still be lots of inspiration to be found here. I’ll also be creating lots of ‘Cheat Day’ recipes to help cure any carb heavy cravings that build throughout the week.

INGREDIENTS. IDEAS. PEOPLE.
Broccoli, pumpkin & feta tart with crispy sage...yup that tart case is literally made of broccoli! I love a good tart (!) but all that butter & flour is slightly guilt inducing, so I’m delighted with this healthy, low-carb alternative. Still tastes absolutely delicious and holds up really well too.
Today is absolutely soup sipping weather. This one I made a few months back is just about the most vibrant and delicious soup EVER! Frozen peas are the most useful standby to have, and when whizzed up with fresh basil and some courgettes they make for a beautiful soup. Finish with some salty, tangy and totally delicious @odysea_ltd feta and you’re winning 👌
Just posted a really beautiful new recipe on the blog, this one’s a real treat! The juiciest charred salmon served alongside golden, caramelised fennel and a seriously moreish pea & tarragon purée. Super simple to cook but majorly delicious to eat. I was hoping to create another new recipe today but alas, a migraine struck at the worst possible time, doh!  Will save my plans for next week though and be back stronger than ever. Hope everyone’s had a great week
Massively craving these Caesar Salad crispbreads today! The Caesar is one of Mexico’s finest exports and one of my favourite recipes on the blog, supremely creamy Caesar dressing loaded up on the finest sourdough crispbreads known to man from @petersyard Finished  off with crispy kale and perfectly cooked quails eggs, what a treat.Link’s in my bio so come take a look
If anyone’s looking for a special night in now that lockdown is back in our lives, be sure to check out @grazy_foryou based near Stroud. They do absolutely delicious grazing boxes that are every bit as wonderful as a meal out.  They can be delivered right to your door, so couldn’t be more convenient. Hope everyone’s staying safe out there and having a good week 👍
Super Fast Thai Green Curry - This may just be the fastest, greenest Thai curry ever! I knew it would be quick, but out of interest I set a timer and the curry was cooked and in a bowl ready to eat in 12 minutes flat! Perfect for those days when you’ve got back from work or have been chasing toddlers around the house non-stop, and have barely enough energy to switch on the hob!
