Christmas Ham in Cola with a Treacle Glaze
I defy anyone who cooks this Christmas ham to only do it once. When you taste the tender ham with the spices and cola-infused flavours you will be a convert I assure you.
Marinated and Baked Lamb Chops
A lovely twist on the classic pan-fried recipe, try these marinated and baked lamb chops to lift them to a new level.
Roasted Sausage Traybake
This easy mid-week sausage traybake is one of those quick and easy dinners that use only a single baking dish.
Fillet of Beef: Prince Albert
