A truly original and special take on foraging and seasonal eating Tommy Banks is a great chef, practising what he preaches about home grown produce cooked with love. This book, like the author is notable for its integrity Tommy Banks is one of the finest chefs working in Britain today. Roots defines his approach to cooking, based on ingredients sourced from a few miles around his restaurant, and transformed by his vision, skill and originality Roots is gloriously, fervently seasonal, revelling in challenge of the hungry months as much as the abundance of late summer and the glut of autumn.

Gems of simplicity share pages with more complex recipes: Banks values them both equally The most serious and interesting cookbook of the season is, by some distance, Roots An uplifting read from a flourishing chef
