Summary

Julius Roberts is a cook, farmer and gardener and he's talking us through his Dream Dinner Party today.

I think it's impossible to listen to this and not think about your own answers. So if you were to host your own Dream Dinner Party with 4 people who were dead or alive, who would you pick?

Julius picks some amazing guests and his menu sounds absolutely delicious too set against the backdrop of the meadow at his farm in Dorset. You can preorder his hotly anticipated debut cookbook The Farm Table is going to be published on the 28th September, which is so exciting!

Preorder your copy of Julius’s book here. Run, don't walk, it's going to be spectacular.

Thank you for listening and supporting Desert Island Dishes with your reviews, telling your friends and helping to spread the word!

See you soon for the next instalment of Desert Island Dishes

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Margie Nomura and welcome to another episode of our side dish, the dream dinner party.
0:08.4	This is the mini episode where we invite a guest to tell us all about their dream dinner party.
0:13.8	The only rule is that they're only allowed to invite four guests, but they can be anyone they like,
0:18.9	they can be dead or alive. And it's four guests, really, because I think personally five people is the optimum number for a really great dinner party.
0:27.6	They're also going to be talking us through their dream dinner party menu.
0:31.4	What are they going to be serving to these guests?
0:33.9	We have a returning guest for you this week in the form of Julius Roberts.
0:38.3	Julius is a cook, farmer and gardener, and he was actually on Desert Island dishes a few years ago,
0:44.3	maybe 80 months ago, as I think I was just weeks away from having a baby, and so much has happened to him in that time.
0:51.3	If you haven't listened to his full episode yet, then do
0:54.3	make sure you go back and have a listen because it really is a goodie. He has since starred

1:10.0	and it's being heralded as the cookbook of the year. It's going to be called the farm table and it's being heralded as the cookbook
1:12.2	of the year. It's available to pre-order and I'm going to pop all the details in the show notes.
1:17.6	This is a lovely episode. I do hope you enjoy.
1:23.2	I love dinner parties as a cook. It's one of the great things that you like to do because sharing food is what cooking is all about.
1:31.9	I grew up in one of those families where the kitchen was very much the heart of our home.
1:35.5	It's where we spent all of our time since I was a kid. And it's where we introduced our friends, our parents, talked about love, cried, argued, you know, all those important
1:44.6	things growing up in relationships. And so for me, cooking for people and the conversation that
1:50.0	comes with that is one of my favourite things. Do you get to throw them very often? I think we do,
1:54.8	you know, I'm very kind of family-orientated person, still live and work with my family a lot.
