Roots: The stunning cookbook from Michelin Star chef Tommy Banks

The first cookbook by Michelin-starred chef and Great British Menu champion Tommy Banks

'Tommy Banks is a great chef, practising what he preaches about home grown produce cooked with love' Prue Leith

Roots is a glorious celebration of the key ingredients grown, foraged and preserved by Tommy close to his award-winning restaurant, The Black Swan in Oldstead, North Yorkshire. Influenced by the rhythms of the land he farms, he renames and redefines the seasons into three growing groups and shares creative recipes, preserving techniques and ideas on using these 'root' ingredients all year round. Beautifully shot throughout the shifting seasons the images showcase recipes, the ingredients and the landscape from which they hail.

'Roots is gloriously, fervently seasonal... Other chefs pay lip service to the seasonal and local mantra: Banks embraces it heart, soul and plate' Xanthe Clay, The Telegraph

'Tommy Banks is one of the finest chefs working in Britain today' Matthew Fort

'This book, like the author is notable for its integrity' Jeremy Lee
