He completed his graduation from US state University with Bachelor’s degree. Julius Roberts Age, Biography Taking my pigs to the abattoir was difficult. But they lived an incredible life, outdoors underneath oak trees, with their own stream to drink from. You see it in the meat: it’s an insanely dark, rich colour.” Julius says: "I was working as a chef and I got burnt out by the lifestyle. I left London with no plan. It’s been a baptism of fire and I've learnt some pretty hard lessons!: I decided to make a crab risotto - it was actually a first time dish so I was very excited to cook it for everyone. I initially wanted to make a squid risotto but couldn’t find any squid in the local fishmonger so crab was a worthy replacement. The local Devon crab around here is amazing. It's a simple dish with some of the last tomatoes I harvested, along with garlic, chilli and saffron, quite a wet, unctuous and rich risotto. Finished with tons of parsley and lemon zest at the end to brighten it up and give it a bit of zing. I thought it was delicious!" We heartily concur.

Julius Roberts’ Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken - The Happy Foodie Julius Roberts’ Epic Tarragon Roast Chicken - The Happy Foodie

Great friendship and support deserve a special treat: Julius makes everyone the legendary Italian pudding tiramisu that he first ate as a child in Florence, which they eat as they relax in the hay meadow with the work done and the sun setting, washed down with chilled local beer. Also this week, Julius opens the polytunnel and shows us his tomato glut before sharing the secret to making unbelievably easy homemade ketchup. But he’s not stopping there on amazing things you wouldn’t ever have thought of trying to make! He gives us his unbelievable recipe for turning a humble belly of pork into the best home-cured bacon and then churns a batch of his own butter in no time at all. So, with ketchup, bacon and butter, what else is there to do than combine them in a perfect bacon and egg sandwich? Veganism is a powerful movement, and I love people for doing it, but it can be combative towards meat-eaters,” he says. “It’s subjective but if done well, I believe that eating meat can be right. For example, we need animals to create fertility in the soil. Every issue, The English Garden magazine features the most beautiful gardens from all across the UK and Ireland - both town and country plots, big and small. Inside, you will find invaluable practical advice from real gardeners, plantspeople and designers. There’s stunning photography from the world’s top garden photographers, as well as insightful writing from experts.He finds the gap between spring and summer is blissful. And at this time of year he misses the herb garden most: “Broadleaf plantain, yarrow, nasturtiums, oregano, thyme – all of these are important for the animals to eat, too.” The joy of cooking is invariably inherited from one's family, as any Italian will be at great pains to tell you, or in my case from one's family's inclination to butcher even the simplest of meals. It's a push-pull thing, with Julius's epicurean passion coming very much from the pull of his grandmother's esteemed culinary repertoire.
