On Wednesday, we welcomed friends to our home in Camden to celebrate our new Summer Menu.
A long colourful table took over our local square, where we served huge platters of summertime salads, bright cocktails and seasonal cakes and our artist in residence brought to life the table with her beautiful drawings.
People talked long into the evening, rekindling old connections and making new ones. It finally feels like summer is here. We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering.

A summer table, shared properly.
This week’s preview brought together friends of GAIL’s for an evening of live music, seasonal dishes and drawings by Emma Cantley. There’s something special about gathering outdoors in summer. Passing plates, pouring another glass, making room for one more person. The small rituals that turn food into connection.
Thank you for spending the evening with us.

We pour a lot of love and work into our previews. Behind the scenes and long before the evening, we’re cooking, prepping, flower arranging, table setting, drawing, drink filling and of course, weather checking.
Here’s a sneak peek at our process.

Our Mini Avocado & Chickpea has had a little makeover, with a new brioche bun, chickpeas from and a brighter salsa verde.
Soft and fragrant, our new brioche is gently enriched with olive oil, aquafaba, roasted cashew butter, and apple purée. We’ve also added heritage grains – a type of wheat that’s more climate resistant, rich in flavour, and often better for you, too.

Sometimes you need more from lunch than a simple refuel. For the days when you fancy making something more indulgent, we wanted to share the recipe for our Taleggio & Mushroom brioche.
Rich with flavour and irresistibly cheesy, they’re lovely with a simple salad or soup. Recipe in the comments and on our journal via the link in bio.

Sparkling, botanical, and rich with raspberries.
Fruity and floral, with a pinch of Szechuan pepper.

How much protein do we really need, and where should we be getting it from?
We’ve all heard about the merits of a diet high in protein – the macronutrient that’s now added to everything from cereals to bread. At the same time, finding new protein sources matters more than ever.
We spoke to registered nutritionist Charlotte Radcliffe to find out the truth behind the hype, and why plant sources (and beans in particular) deserve more space on your plate. Now on our Journal via the link in bio.

Our Raspberry Filled Cookie, made with sunflower butter and baked until just set.
A sweet nod to the sandwiches many of us grew up with.

Three pairings, put together with balance in mind.
Elderflower Iced Matcha with Pistachio, Lemon & Rose cake. The elderflower lifts the cake and enhances its bright, floral notes.
Iced Turmeric Latte with Pecan Crumb Cake. The spice rounds into the pecans, each softening the other.
Iced Latte with Tahini Bites. Coffee brings out the deep, roasted notes of the sesame.
Simple combinations, where each element has a role.

From parmesan crumb-coated chicken thighs to crunchy radish, coriander cress and velvety chickpeas.
Thoughtfully layered sandwiches, made for a lunch to look forward to.

Our new Bread of the Month is the San Francisco – the quintessential white craft sourdough. Light, creamy and versatile, it has tangy fermented notes, a mild sweetness, an open crumb and dark, crackly crust.
The San Francisco Sourdough is the whitest sourdough in our range. But it’s not strictly white, as we add wholemeal and heritage grains (a type of wheat that’s more climate resistant, rich in flavour, and often better for you, too).
This loaf is an all-rounder – great for sandwiches, brunch, soups, the lot. For quick recipe, wilt some leeks until soft, spread some sourdough with ricotta or stracciatella, and then layer the leeks on top with good anchovies. Finish with chilli flakes and lemon zest.

Bring on the sun. Our new Turmeric Latte, served iced or hot, is made with turmeric and ginger, spiced with cinnamon and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. Pair with your choice of milk or enjoy as a warming tea.

Fudgy, filled with chocolate chips and topped with a sesame and chocolate sauce. Our new Tahini Bites are perfect for a pick-me-up.
We’ve also added heritage flour to the new recipe – a type of wheat that’s more climate resistant, rich in flavour, and often more nutritious.
