Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Georgie Mullen (@georgieeats), whose debut cookbook What to Cook & When to Cook It celebrates cooking with the seasons. Georgie’s journey began at 14, when she started cooking for her mum, who had early-onset Alzheimer’s. What began as necessity grew into joy, guided by well-thumbed recipe books and a curiosity for flavour. Since 2018, Georgie has shared her recipes online, building a loyal community, cookery classes, and now her first book—rooted in food that’s modern, generous, relaxed, and full of memory.
