Focussed on lunch, dinner and desserts and catering to various times and effort commitments, Tom's Diner ensures there's something for everyone!

Chapter 4: Elevated Basics - Includes homemade barbecue glazed ribs; lasagne; meat pie; ruck ragout; chicken cacciatore; chilli con carne.

Chapter 5: A Little Sweet Treat - Includes pear and almond tart; apple and rhubarb crumble; crème caramel; jam-filled donut balls.
