These Sunday cooking posts are becoming quite a habit of mine. This week I thought I'd start the thread a day early, just to give everyone a bit more time for inspiration.

To start I will be preparing something very simple yet tasty. Raymond Blanc's "Kitchen Secrets" book influenced my main course and it will be the first time I have cooked with cream for at least a year. Don't count the calories on this one :eek:

Starter
Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, cherry tomatoes and basil infused extra-virgin olive oil.

Main Course
Slow-roast shoulder of lamb, dauphinoise potatoes, roasted vegetables made with carrots, shallots, garlic and rosemary.

Will pick a decent bottle of red and finish off with cheese. So not the most complex meal to cook but as always with food like this, quality of ingredients and timing is critical. I've been down to the local market this morning and the veggies are all superb.

What are you planning to cook tomorrow?
 
Sounds fantastic, can I come.

Going to do lamb kebabs and flat bread, on the BBQ if I have enough charcoal left.

Nothing as I'll be (if lucky) in bed sleeping due to another pending nightshift. That said make sure you post some pics as I'll be off next weekend and inspiration is a great thing.
 
Pot-roast Beef Brisket, Aberdeen Angus. I really like Brisket it has a wonderful texture and flavour. I don't know why it's underrated.

Served with roast potatoes, roasted squash, carrots, purple sprouting, (subject to change) and of course Yorkshire Pudding.
 
Parents are back late and I'm working till 6 so the usual sunday roast might end up being an omlette for me lol

Sounds wonderful, what time is dinner :D

(I've got Roast chicken breast with mash potato and veg :))
 
Yep, Stage 1. If it works out then I'll be doing Stage 2 as soon as possible too.
 
I have everything I need to make a huge portion of Chilli, then I can separate a few single meal sized portions and freeze them for later.
