Roast Loin of Pork
Roast pork is my favourite but we don’t eat it that often (1 April 2007 according to the archives) so I was really looking forward to lunch today and I wasn’t disappointed. The meat was tender and tasty and produced fantastic, crackly crackling – we achieved this by leaving the meat uncovered in the fridge […]

Stephen hasn’t been feeling very well this weekend and suggested roast chicken for lunch today. It turned out to be a lovely, warm day which would have been perfect for barbecuing but we already had our chicken so decided to stick to our original plan. It’s not the most exciting meal, we eat it a […]

It has become something of a tradition for us to have roast chicken when we get back from holiday. So, having been away in Scotland last week, we had roast chicken today. Kerri realised recently that we haven’t cooked the same thing twice so far this year and we were worried that having roast chicken […]

Did I mention it was raining again today? We started talking about what to have for lunch before breakfast and it took us about 10 seconds to decide on roast beef. Stephen braved the weather to go in search of beef (well, go to the shop…it’s not like we live on a rambling country estate […]

It’s become something of a tradition that when we return from holidays we eat roast chicken…well, this is the second time it’s happened so it’s on the way to being a tradition. We roasted the chicken with onion, garlic, sage and lemon and served it with sagey roast potatoes, stuffing and some green vegetables. It […]

A long title today because it all deserved mention. We started with asparagus with a pine nut and herb sauce. It turned out as more of a relish than a sauce really. It contained pine nuts (obviously), red onion, parsely, mint, olive oil and vinegar. This went very well indeed with the asparagus; next time […]

We’ve eaten lots of great food over the last few days but a lot of it was very rich, and we were slightly greedy too. We decided on a simple roast chicken for dinner this evening, with crushed Jersey Royals rather than roast potatoes. Stephen stuffed the chicken with a selection of herbs from the […]
Read More..>>Roast Lamb with Anchovies and Garlic
Today we had a leg of lamb for the first time in ages. We inserted little pieces of anchovy and garlic into it before roasting. The anchovy melted away and gave the lamb a lovely flavour without being fishy at all. It was a good thing too because it wasn’t the best lamb – next […]

We bought a deboned leg of free range pork from our butcher yesterday, planning to have it for lunch today. Today we rubbed the skin with salt and roasted it high, then lower. Two and a half hours later, it was done and it was really good. Served with sage and onion stuff made by […]
Read More..>>Rack of Lamb with Sauteed Potatoes
Mmmm rack of lamb. Served with sauteed potatoes and a selection of vegetables – brussels sprouts, carrots and salsify. It’s the first time I’ve had salsify; not quite sure what to make of it. The lamb and potatoes were good.
