The Farm Table - Julius Roberts

First-generation farmer and chef Julius Roberts wants you to cook and eat your way to the good life with simple, seasonal recipes.

This is a new addition to our tight edit of excellent, useful cookbooks that here at Pascale we actually use. There isn't a dud in here and unlike some books that claim a recipe is 'simple' and then list a whole host of hard-to-come-by ingredients these are as straightforward and as easy as they are delicious.

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.
