The secret lies in the stock. As always, it is much better when using homemade stock. I often leave chunks of the [...]

We had this at Christmas to eat with hot turkey as a change from Cranberry sauce, and we also ate it with pork pie and cold ham on Boxing Day – delicious. Originally a recipe from Clarke’s Restaurant, I have just changed one or two details which made it easier to make. Also delicious with [...]

- Serves 8-10 I think it is always better to cook seasonally, and this is a wonderful joint if you are having friends for a Winter Sunday Lunch. It is easy to prepare, and you need to be organised and do it in advance, but it is worth it. It was given to me by [...]
