Chimichurri Lamb. Easy Tasty Fun*

A traditional Sunday roast, rich Greek moussaka, a warming bowl of Irish Stew. They'd all be nothing without delicious, tasty lamb.  It's not just for special occasions or celebration meals - there's a multitude of lamb cuts which are quick, simple and very easy to cook.  Given how busy our lives have become, anything which gives us a chance to create something delicious in moments has to be worth a try.

Nectarine & Cherry Upside Down Cake

When we were kids, an upside down cake was an exotic American creation, baked by a friend of my parents.  It was a world away from Victoria sponges and apple tart on a plate, and we couldn't get enough of it.  Pineapple was usually reserved for gammon steaks and glace cherries for buns or Christmas Cake, so to bring the two together with syrupy sponge was a complete revelation.  Nowadays I like my pineapple barbequed, my cherries fresh and my cake a little less sweet.
