“When you have more than you need, build a bigger table not a higher wall.” 

In Gather & Graze, authors Mumtaz Mustafa and Laura Klynstra celebrate the unity that can be found around a table as well as the universal comfort of a meal prepared slowly with love and attention—providing a path and a place for people to connect, exchange stories, and try new flavours. The spreads, platters, and table scapes featured in this collection will remind you of happy times and relaxed meals with those you love. 

Gather & Graze revels in the coming together around a table of people from all backgrounds and present internationally themed spreads built around more than 150 homemade recipes. The Pakistani Street Food Stack, for example, includes recipes for Bun Kababs, Potato and Chicken Cutlets, Masala Peanuts, Tamarind Chutney, and more, while the Tropical Spread features Coconut Crusted Shrimp, Sweet Chilli Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers, Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce, Pineapple Salsa, Piña Colada Cookies, and more!
