Description
You want to gently and slowly cook this down, not looking for any colour or caramelisation, just rendering the fat out of the bacon and infusing it with the garlic and thyme. There’s some cloves in there and some warming spices and the caramel that’s in the pears starts infusing into the cake batter and so you get this crispy, juicy, lovely edge which goes well with creme fraiche. One slight niggle: in common with almost all chefs/cooks nowadays the chilli seems almost obligatory. When the weather begins to really take its toll, you need the nourishment and warmth that a stew or pie can bring.

This week, Gilly is with Alex Jackson, Noble Rot chef, former restaurateur at Sardine and author of Frontieres. The chapters run seasonally with wintery tastes like elegant, fuss-free dinner of roast pumpkin, mozzarella, hazelnuts and sage, and a hearty sausage stew.If previously my journey was about creating a space to rear animals, it’s now about asking how I can be the best custodian of this land. 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. Julius Roberts left London and his job as a chef to run a small-holding in Dorset, living as self-sufficiently as possible.
It has transformed his relationship with eating meat and Roberts says he now eats ‘significantly less.In Spring, my focus is on lambing, I’m out checking the sheep late into the night with a headtorch and up early to be there for any Ewes that have trouble giving birth, any spare time I’m planting seeds in the greenhouse and getting the veg patch ready for a busy growing season ahead! As you’d expect, his debut book channels all of the beauty of his smallholding—especially the moments captured through the seasons on the farm—as he launches into around 100 recipes, beginning with the seductive food of the coldest months. 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. He has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, where he shares vignettes from the farm and enticing recipes made with the fruits of his labour. Those early days in Suffolk sound like a glorious time, full of happenstance meetings, community building, the curious and characterful pigs, a dog named Loki and becoming attuned to the delicate demands of nature.
It was 8 months well-spent shucking oysters and cutting his culinary teeth in the 45 degree basement.Autumn is a busy time, where we make the most of the growing weather before the cold dark, days of winter begin. The quality of the book is great with photos of each recipe for reference, as well as a great introduction.

Chickens felt like too easy a step… so I made this huge leap, bought some pigs, and I just fell in love.
