This selection from our "Lunch on the Green" menu in the September issue is perfect for a late summer lunch. Renowned Chef James Saunders arranges the skewers over the salad.
The nutty flavour of celery root (sometimes called celeriac) combines with apples to make this fine soup mildly perfumed with curry. It's delightful to look at in wide old-fashioned soup bowls or glass cups. Choose a juicy apple such as Gravenstein, Spartan or McIntosh for this recipe.
Slow-cooked lamb topped with slices of crisp, golden potato – no wonder this recipe has gone down in the history books as a classic.
Roasting the vegetables before making the stock is a chef's secret for a deeply flavourful, rich vegetable broth.
Chicken bones are the best choice for making tasty soup. To extract maximum flavour, a stock needs to simmer for hours – long after there is any flavour left in the accompanying meat.

This recipe was my dads recipe. He made it at every special occasion and everyone loved it. A year and a half ago I finally learned it and made it for him. He approved and said it was my turn now. We lost him May 2008 to Cancer. Now everytime I make this recipe I think of how proud he would be. This is very simple but oh so delicious. If you've never had rabbit before, this is the recipe to start with. Anyone can make it and it tastes a lot like chicken.
