A CHEF and farmer has produced his first book of recipes from his Dorset small-holding.
Julius Roberts has a small farm between Bridport and Lyme Regis.
The Farm Table offers simple, seasonal recipes and tales from his family small-holding in Dorset.
After a year at London's Noble Rot, Julius was tired of the crushing hours and longed for a simper life.
Desperate to connect with the natural world and grow his own food that was as incredible as the seasonal produce brought into the restaurant every day, Julius left the city for a small farm in Dorset.
He began documenting his journey on Instagram and has captivated legions of followers and influential fans.
Now, three years into this adventure, The Farm Year follows a calendar year on his west Dorset small-holding.
It is an outstanding collection of more than 100 recipes inspired by the British countryside, making the most of affordable, seasonal ingredients.
Each chapter of The Farm Table has a mix of smaller plates, veggie dishes, fish and meat with a few delicious yet easy puddings to finish.
Read on for three mouth-watering recipes from Julius' debut book.....
Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken
Sardine Puttanesca
Pear and Walnut Upside Down Cake
