The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

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, 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.
