Nataniël considers a day off or a night at home a blessing, an event, that has to be celebrated by doing three of his favourite things: cooking, eating and seeing his friends.
His new, extraordinarily beautiful cookbook memorably portrays gatherings, celebrations and magical get-togethers at his house and sylvan garden over the course of a year. The events include a Valentine’s dinner, a Hocus Pocus Party, Christmas and Easter Celebrations and impromptu meals with friends and colleagues.
Gatherings is intended as both an inspiration and a tribute to home cooking and entertaining – practical, affordable, elegant, spontaneous, grand, relaxed, formal, informal, fun, opulent or intimate.
