Clementine Day is a self-taught, home cook that runs Some Things I Like to Cook, a growing project that draws a meaningful connection between food, people and play. Interested in exploring the emotional relationship between the heart and the stomach, and the human connections that are formed over food, Clementine works on collaborative, creative food projects with friends and creatives across Melbourne.

Coming Together is a celebration of sharing food. It chronicles a series of long lunches enjoyed with my friends, bringing together all of the things I missed most after spending most of 2020 in lockdown in Melbourne, Australia. Friends, good food, good wine and good music, all in one place!

These six long lunches, cooked in friend’s kitchens and enjoyed in their various outdoor areas, feature a series of my recipes as well as one recipe contributed by each of my friends. The book is broken up into each lunch. Each lunch features some amazing suggested wine pairings put together by my friend and true wine aficionado, Mike Chambers, as well as a cute little playlist inspired by the tastes of each household.
