Gathering - A Celebration of Flavours From Polynesia and Beyond

This book is a vibrant culinary journey inspired by Monica's roots in the Pacific Islands and her adventures across the globe - from the sun-soaked archipelagos of Italy to the bustling kitchens of South China and the spice-laden waters of the Java Seas. Drawing on her rich Polynesian heritage, Monica reimagines traditional island flavours with a contemporary twist, creating recipes that are as innovative as they are soulful. Each dish tells a story of place, culture and connection, bringing together tropical ingredients, global influences, and modern techniques. More than just a cookbook, it is an invitation to explore a fresh way of cooking at home - colourful, bold and deeply rooted in tradition, yet alive with new ideas. With Monica as your guide, you'll discover how to bring the warmth, generosity and creativity of island-inspired cooking into your own kitchen, wherever you are in the world.
