Tommy Banks at The Black Swan, Oldstead

Last year we spent some time with chef Tommy Banks photographing him and the farm at The Black Swan (in Oldstead, Yorkshire) for a feature in The Telegraph.

The feature included three simple take-home recipes as well as a really great interview. You can read the interview and access the recipes via The Telegraph website here.
