The Farmer’s Pantry

22 Staple Ingredients. 100 Recipes. Make Good Food, Bold

'Farmer J is the epitome of deliciousness' - GRACE DENT

At Farmer J, food is never boring. Because life's too short for bland. It's about cooking like you give a fork.


Beloved restaurant brand Farmer J is known as the Home of the Fieldtray. The concept is a totally customisable meal that is bold and vibrant, yet comforting and humble. This book is for people who love flavourful food but can't be bothered with the faff.

The Farmer's Pantry features over 100 recipes. Every dish is based around one pantry staple - things like harissa, tahini, miso, dukkah and gochujang. These jars, pastes, spices and sauces are the cheat code that takes a Tuesday night chicken thigh and make it sing.

So if you like the sound of chermoula fish skewers with blistered greens, or Baharat roasted lamb shank + mint schug, or tahini that gets dolloped, swirled, and spiced within an inch of its life —welcome. This is your kind of cookbook.
