Sunday Roast

There is no greater way to celebrate the wonders of home-cooking than the Sunday roast. This exceptional meal is an occasion in itself - the tantalising aroma of the meat roasting in the oven, the array of colourful vegetables, the sharpening of the all-important carving knife and the hub-bub of people (hopefully!) helping out laying the table and making the sauces. It's an excuse to get together friends and family to enjoy a delicious, nourishing meal. Clarissa and Johnny, with their invaluable experience and advice, are here to help and make the meal a success without any fuss.

'Sunday Roast' includes all your classic roasts as well as more unusual recipes to inspire you, such as Aubergine Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb, Pheasant with Figs, and Turbot with Warm Tomato Vinaigrette. Johnny talks you through the important tradition of carving and how it can improve taste and presentation while Clarissa explains how to get the best out of your cut of meat and provides witty anecdotes about the dishes and why they have been selected. There are also chapters on complementary sauces, ideal vegetable accompaniments and some exceptional recipes for leftovers that will ensure you get the most out of your Sunday roast. This is THE book to help you make the best meal of the week a memorable occasion.
