    Greek Roast Lamb Leg with some English touches

    Yes these are all text messaged recipes, but occasionally, just occasionally, I manage to be in town to enjoy the finished product.

    Thats what’s happened this weekend. My brother has taken the base recipe from Scrummy Lane, selected a nice leg of lamb and kicked on.

    Cooking starts the day before with prepping and marinading, and in this case also cooking up some Yorkshire Puddings. The next day the roast is in the oven for about 7 hours from 5am.

    As I was dropping by to offer him a ride to our folks, I got to take a photo of the bees hard at work on the flowering rosemary he used for the marinade.

    The end result was delicious, although in my final photo I didn’t have the gravy on which was amazing.

  • Toad in the Hole

    The meaty cousin to Yorkshire Puddings and for my money, the ultimate Comfort Food.

    5 Minutes for the batter while you heat the oven. 35 minutes to cook. Flour, milk, eggs and sausage. Cheapest hearty meal you can make.

    You can cook it for one in a single pan, or do large portion. You can also use the BBC Recipe my brother uses https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/best-yorkshire-puddings or my current favourite which is has a slightly better batter for large portions https://www.tamingtwins.com/toad-in-the-hole-recipe/

    Packet gravy is super easy, but you can elevate with some slow cooked onions or do it from scratch also.
