A collection of thought-provoking conversations between chefs and inspiring thinkers and writers, coupled with seasonal recipes. Among the recipe and conversation pairings, Harry Boglione's discussion of regenerative farming is followed by Jeremy Lee's foraged dishes, Isabella Tree and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are paired on the theme of rewilding, Rachel de Thample's fermented recipes respond to Dr Alanna Collen's discussion of microbes, and Simon Rogan's mushroom recipes are inspired by Merlin Sheldrake's passion for fungi. Themes explored include gut health, rewilding, mushrooms, farming, microbes, soil, fasting, sleep and mental health.
