Petersham Nurseries Restaurant is honoured to have received the Michelin Green Star, as a testament to our commitment to sustainability.

Destined to be the perfect coffee table accompaniment the 432 page book covers the story of the Boglione family in their own words, transporting the reader through changing seasons at the nursery, to the family run farm in Devon and Tuscan vineyards. One of the greatest wines produced in Bordeaux this year is the 2019 Lafite Rothschild, an impeccably balanced classic of immense charm and grace. The family’s latest venture, a stunning, 432-page coffee table book, is quintessential Petersham Nurseries: stylish yet unpretentious, aspirational but approachable.

Meanwhile, place the whole peppers, halved tomatoes, thyme, chilli flakes and olive oil in a tray, add a pinch of salt and place under a hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning once, and then allow to rest for a further 10 minutes. An imaginative and creative journey, whereby owners Francesco and Gael, along with their four children, have developed the nurseries in line with their commitment to nature, integrity and family.

I would like to mention Iona in particular for her care and consideration and expert serving and also the female sommelier who had an expert knowledge of dessert wines and recommended a very good dessert wine for me. Initially, they had no particular plans for the garden centre; it was only on a trip to southern India in 2002 with his eldest daughter, Lara, that inspiration came to Francesco. These include everything from plant-based starters such as artichokes alla Romana with basil and mint, to hearty mains like ravioli with ricotta di bufala and young nettles, and sweet desserts such asstrawberry sorbet, meringue, and rose syrup. But with a raft of some of London's best chefs passing through the doors of the kitchen at its acclaimed café – which has held a Michelin star for much of the time it's been open – as well as a distinctive approach to cooking (quality British ingredients, many grown on-site, with an approach inspired by Mediterranean cuisine) saw it become one of the quintessential experiences in the city for those looking to reconnect with nature. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Petersham Nurseries book without shining a light on treats from the famous Teahouse, like the delightful spiced honey cake and a luscious chocolate and almond number (the perfect elegant dinner party pudding).

Stimulating the senses, an evergreen backdrop acts as a foil for us to add colour and drama throughout the seasons, embracing the beauty of flowering plants in each season. Drawing on a vibrant range of influences – from Francesco’s travels through Afghanistan, India and Nepal to Gael’s exciting career as a model – the book conveys ‘how the nurseries developed in line with their personal commitment to nature, integrity and family.The recipes in particular pay tribute to the brand ethos of simple, provenance-led cooking throughout the year. The roast baby potatoes especially, nicely crispy but very bland, i barely use salt but even to me it was notably absent.
