Organised seasonally, each conversation is paired with a selection of recipes, carefully created by chefs in response to the ideas discussed. Themes explored include gut health, rewilding, mushrooms, farming, microbes, soil, fasting, sleep and mental health.Among the recipe and conversation pairings, Harry Boglione's discussion of regenerative farming is followed by Jeremy Lee's foraged dishes, Isabella Tree and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are paired on the theme of rewilding, Rachel de Thample's fermented recipes respond to Dr Alanna Collen's discussion of microbes, Simon Rogan's mushroom recipes are inspired by Merlin Sheldrake's passion for fungi and following Charlie Morley's interview on lucid dreaming are Skye Gyngell's recipes, all designed to enable good sleep.From the Italian Alps to London's Petersham Nurseries, the Boglione family's restaurant and garden centre, Anna's upbringing was permeated by nature. Later in life a disconnect from the natural world caused Anna digestive issues, affecting her physical and mental health. This spurred her to research holistic practises and nutrition and learn about food systems. She launched The Gut, a food and wellness platform which encourages healthy living,
in balance with nature.Recipes to Reconnect includes conversations with 12 influential thinkers and writers, and recipes from 12 leading chefs, from the Petersham family of restaurants and beyond. Created by the Boglione family, Petersham Nurseries is both a Michelin Green Star restaurant and a plant nursery, situated along the river Thames in Richmond. Sister restaurants include The Petersham and La Goccia in Covent Garden.Inspired by her upbringing at Petersham nurseries, Recipes to Reconnect includes over 60 recipes from the Petersham team alongside Anna's own home cooking. Delicious, simple dishes, created in response to conversations with farmers, conservationists and nutritionists, celebrate natural ingredients and encourage you to enjoy your food all the more having considered its origin. Anna sees food as a way to create conversation, to bring people together and to experience the joy of nature. In Recipes to Reconnect , she creates a deeper consideration of nature's place in our modern lives and brings it, quite literally, to the table.
