THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Summary

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'A heart-warming and uplifting book. The recipes are utterly gorgeous.' NIGEL SLATER


Cook and eat your way to the good life with simple, seasonal recipes.

First-generation farmer and chef Julius Roberts shares honest tales of farming life and easy, thoughtful dishes to reconnect us to nature and the seasons.

Making the most of simple ingredients, The Farm Table is unfussy home cooking at its very best.

A few good things on a plate, assembled with joy and ease.

Recipes include:

- winter: an elegant, fuss-free dinner of roast pumpkin, mozzarella, hazelnuts and sage, and a hearty sausage stew
- spring: baked fish with herbs and asparagus, chicken roasted over lemon, fennel and potatoes, and a lamb stew with pearl barley
- summer: courgette pasta, a ratatouille galette, and a steamed apricot sponge
- autumn: arrives with smoked haddock and leek rarebit and pan-fried trout with mash and spinach sauce.

Passionate about seasonality, Julius shows us how to make the most of produce, from crisp, crunchy apples in autumn, pink rhubarb in winter, asparagus in spring and the first summer strawberries.
