The Farm Table: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Product Information

If you've ever spent any time in Dorset then you'll know that while summers can be quite glorious affairs, winters have quite the bite. The amount of nights that I’ve finished listening to him, and in a world that’s got more and more disconnected from nature, he’s kept that connection very much alive.

It’s quite special when you have this intense time frame to finish something and you can capture that moment when you’re in it. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. On the farm, it’s time for Julius to free his chicks and mother hens from the coop to roam free and, much to his amusement, the cockerel who has missed the hens is wasting no time getting frisky. Professionally trained chef Julius Roberts left a busy and frantic London restaurant life to pursue his dream of living sustainably on a small farm in the English countryside. Alone, until he became the proud owner of four pigs, Snap, Crackle, Pop and Alby — a mark of officiality as a farmer.

It is an outstanding collection of more than 100 recipes inspired by the British countryside, making the most of affordable, seasonal ingredients. Rather than distancing himself from the animals in his care, knowing these bonds will one day be severed, instead this knowledge draws him closer to them.

Julius is not only making pizza, but he’s building the wood-fired oven as well, with the help of his friend and builder Adam and his son Rowan. We honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuous connection to Country, waters, skies and communities. Sign up to receive our latest stories on style and culture, plus be the first to know about new collections and special events. Some may only have one or two recipes in them I cook again and again but I consider it worth still having that book to have those recipes and the memories that go with them.

We take joy in reading about new goats and sheep being born, learn to grow some vegetables, and forage for simple herbs and flowers, all while discovering Julius's outstanding recipes. Some of them will be melting, others will still have bite, and then you go and squeeze a lemon and add either a handful of mint or basil, and that can go in an omelette, or you can toss it through pasta, or have it on on toast, or with burrata, mozzarella, on flatbread. Inspired by the seasonal ethos and stunning produce of the suppliers who delivered to the restaurant each morning, he left the city on a mission to reconnect with nature and live a self-sufficient life in the countryside.

Julius Roberts’ Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken - The Happy Foodie Julius Roberts’ Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken - The Happy Foodie

Combining honest tales from farming life, delicious home-cooked recipes, and stunning photography of the Dorset countryside and coast, The Farm Table encourages us to embrace the pace of a slower life, take inspiration and delight from nature, and always gather around the table to enjoy the journey. His focus is on animal welfare, sustainability and slow living, an approach that has won the 26-year-old 27,000 Instagram followers. We had to make the most of the seasons, photograph the plates and get the recipes done, capture it with no chance to go back. The goats were purchased from a fellow farmer nearby, and Julius suspects them to be a cross between Dutch Landrace and Nigerian Dwarves. Even as someone who lives in a flat with no garden, it's encouraging me to get a small planter in the window to grow a few fresh herbs and things myself.

Luckily, Mark manages to land a couple of fish, as it turns out that fish are as tricky to catch as goats for Julius. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The narrative he attaches to each season and its produce is highly evocative; winter is "still and peaceful, yet wild and ruthless", perfect for pork belly braised in cider, whereas summer is an "eternal slumber" of long hazy days and scorched cracked earth, ideal for a courgette frittata with goats' cheese, lemon and mint.

I love this seasonal book - everything I have cooked so far has tasted fabulous, the recipes are straightforward and the end results are moorish, warming and balanced. Lay the chicken in a large, high-sided roasting tray, season generously with salt on both sides and leave for an hour at room temperature so it loses the chill of the fridge. Many of us dream of moving to the country, growing our own vegetables, raising animals and spending more time in nature. At this point, remove from the oven and leave to rest for 15 minutes, covered loosely with a bit of foil. It's a push-pull thing, with Julius's epicurean passion coming very much from the pull of his grandmother's esteemed culinary repertoire.So summer is fresher, lighter, a lot of cold food, zingy salads, whereas winter is much more unctuous and hearty because you’re trying to keep yourself warm. Last but not least, I want to give credits to the photographer as the images are absolutely stunning and beautiful to look at.
