Hi.
I’m Gem, The Mother cooker. I cook award winning stuff you might like to eat.
The Mother Cooker was born because I am an impassioned grower. If you ever want to find me, I’ll be at my allotment covered in dirt. Learning to grow my own food started my love affair with eating seasonally. If you are a long time fan of the site, you’ll know that I am sincerely passionate about self sustainability. I like to eat what the earth is providing me at its peak. That’s why you’ll only ever find me eating strawberries in summer and squash in the autumn. Have you ever wanted to grow your own food? If the answer is yes, then this is the place for you. Let me take you on a journey of flavour through the seasons. I’ll teach you what produce is at it’s best month by month. Then I’ll show you what delicious recipes you can create with them. It’s time to learn how to sow, grow and cook your own organic food. Ready? Let’s begin…
At the heart of my ethos is to help you to eat seasonally and sustainably. As an organic gardener who grows my own food, I want to share my passion with you. Hopefully, to help you waste less and to eat closely with what nature provides you month by month.
I've won a few awards for my recipes, which I hope helps you see that I'm good at it.
I am a qualified Horticulturist and cookbook author who loves a cup of chamomile tea. Working with brands that align with my ethos is something I strive for here at The Mother Cooker. So, if you feel that your company has those beliefs, I am more than open to talk about possible collaborations. You can start a chat with me over on my email gem@themothercooker.com
New here? Check out my cookbook, or find me over on Instagram. I also have a gardening page if that's more your thing. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have, or offer advice. In fact, please talk to me about gardening. It's one of my main loves. I hope you stick around and that my recipes become your first point of recommendation. Thank you for checking in, it's been lovely.
