About The Farm Kitchen

The Farm Kitchen is a celebration of honest food and thoughtful living. Written by cook, grower and food campaigner Abby Allen, this cookbook brings together a collection of seasonal recipes inspired by the British field, farm, garden and coast.

Organised by season, The Farm Kitchen cookbook is a celebration of simple, sustainable cooking featuring fresh, wholesome dishes inspired by the British countryside, kitchen garden and coast. From broad bean and sheep’s cheese toasts to minted hogget meatballs and New England-style lobster rolls, each recipe highlights honest ingredients at their seasonal best.

More than just a cookbook, The Farm Kitchen explores key conversations in today’s food landscape. Each chapter features short essays on topics like regenerative farming, growing your own vegetables, ethical meat, seasonal eating, and the importance of food diversity in the UK.
