Clementine Day is a cook who lives and works on Dja Dja Wurrung Country in Castlemaine, Australia. She runs Some Things I Like To Cook; an evolving project that draws a meaningful connection between food, people and place.
With a relaxed and unfussy approach, Clementine’s recipes empower even the most inexperienced of cooks to create memorable experiences based around the simple act of eating and entertaining. She is passionate about encouraging others to have fun and trust their intuition in the kitchen.
Clementine works on collaborative projects with a vast array of different creatives. This includes recipe development and contribution, dining projects, food styling, private lunches and dinners, and creative food publications. Her approach to recipe writing is candid and refreshing - like having a supportive best friend alongside as your cooking companion.
In 2020, Clementine released her first cookbook, Coming Together, a collection of recipes woven with stories of friendship, based on six long lunches she hosted. Clementine wrote the recipes, as well as styling and photographing all the dishes in the book.
