This is a superb roast to serve for family gatherings. The double loin is enough for 12 servings, so you can have eight around the table for the hot roast, vegetables and gravy, with leftovers of meat for four the next day. Roasting with convection heat cuts the time by about a quarter.
This minty herb sauce complements lamb perfectly, but it's just as delicious with chicken, pork and raw vegetables. Serve with pita bread, lettuce and chopped tomatoes.
Parsnips add a comforting wintry heartiness to classic mashed potatoes. For the juiciest steaks, let them rest for at least five minutes before serving. Round out the meal with a side of steamed greens or a mixed-leaf salad.
Roast chicken with simple classic flavourings is the perfect Sunday dinner. With a large chicken, there will be leftovers for sandwiches the next day or to chop and use in a salad.
Yummy and easy to whip up in no time flat this soup we make everyone happy and is great for this time of year.
Often the simplest approach to vegetables is the best. And while most party-givers avoid the whole question of hot vegetables at a buffet, this festive Italian dish is both a visual and taste treat.
