Gather and Graze by Mumtaz Mustafa
“When you have more than you need, build a bigger table not a higher wall.” In Gather & Graze, authors Mumtaz Mustafa and Laura Klynstra celebrate the unity that can be found around a table as well as the universal comfort of a meal prepared slowly with love and attention—providing a path and a place for people to connect, exchange stories, and try new flavours. The spreads, platters, and table scapes featured in this collection will remind you of happy times and relaxed meals with those you love. Gather & Graze revels in the coming together around a table of people from all backgrounds and present internationally themed spreads built around more than 150 homemade recipes. The Pakistani Street Food Stack, for example, includes recipes for Bun Kababs, Potato and Chicken Cutlets, Masala Peanuts, Tamarind Chutney, and more, while the Tropical Spread features Coconut Crusted Shrimp, Sweet Chilli Shrimp & Pineapple Skewers, Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce, Pineapple Salsa, Piña Colada Cookies, and more! The stunningly beautiful and creative spreads that grace the pages of this collection include, but are not limited to: English High Tea New York City Brunch Sonoma Wine and Cheese Heartland Vegetable Garden Spanish Tapas Belgian Waffle Shanghai Social Portuguese Pestiscos and European Cookie Tray
"A cookbook for today's travelers—people who know that borders are artifices; that food is a gateway to culture; that coming together around a table leads to conversation, friendship and communityLife is too short not to explore, eat, and love to your fullest.”
—Divia Thani, global editorial director, Conde Nast Traveler
“This book has magic in its pages and soul in its recipes; it crosses borders that sadly we are not allowed to cross in life.”
—Mira Nair, film director, writer, and producer

"Gather & Graze is full of dynamic, gorgeous recipes that transport you all around the world. I love that Mumtaz and Laura meticulously show you how to make party-ready dishes from scratch, but they also take the intimidation out of hosting with make-ahead lists and store-bought options to save time. Each chapter satisfies your wanderlust and is full of styling tips to create stunning table scapes at home. This cookbook exemplifies the power of food and friendship. I’m so inspired to make the endless combinations of boards from this book!"
—Abi Balingit, baking blogger at The Dusky Kitchen and author of Mayumu: Filipino American Desserts Remixed
"Gather and Graze is a cookbook where boundaries dissolve. I couldn't help but feel an instant connection to far-off places through the language of food. This cookbook isn't just a compilation of recipes; it's a journey celebrating the rich tapestry of heritages that define our understanding of 'cuisine.' From the lively street foods of Pakistan to the hearty stews of Ethiopia and the diverse offerings of Dutch Table, the range of recipes seamlessly highlights how much our shared connections are through food. Mumtaz and Laura’s cookbook has beautifully captured the essence of each place, inspiring me to gather my family and friends to recreate their shared food experiences."
