In his debut book 'The Farm Table' Julius Roberts creates easy dishes to reconnect us to nature.

product

The first-generation farmer and restaurant trained chef is on a mission to live a self-sufficient life on his family smallholding in Dorset, whilst also cultivating the finest ingredients, and cooking and eating the very best food. 

Making the most of simple ingredients, this is food to comfort and inspire. A few good things on a plate, assembled with joy and ease. Beginning in winter, recipes include:

- an elegant, fuss-free dinner of roast pumpkin, mozzarella, hazelnuts and sage, and a hearty sausage stew
- in spring baked fish with herbs and asparagus, chicken roasted over lemon, fennel and potatoes, and a lamb stew with pearl barley
- summer brings courgette pasta, a ratatouille galette, and a steamed apricot sponge
- finally 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. Julius Roberts' The Farm Table is unfussy home cooking at its very best.

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

'The Farm Table', published by Ebury Press is out now.
