Trying out a couple recipes from Nigellas new book....chicken fricassee, roasted maple plums and the white chocolate cheesecake....will take the cheesecake to my daughter's as I'm picking up my granddaughters for the weekend.

I tend to make the same thing each week - usually a chicken casserole with lots of different vegetables and a bunch of mixed fresh herbs from the garden. It lasts us 2 or 3 main meals. And sometimes a pie with the leftovers.
For dessert last week I bought a bag of frozen raspberries and tried to make a sponge flan. I'd just bought a flan tin from Lakeland but it's NO GOOD! Falls apart and sticks.
So scraped out the sponge and made a sort of trifle with instead. Thickened the rasps with a little cornflour.

Lamb and dauphinois potatoes, a match made in heaven.

Yesterday cauliflower curry soup, bread and salad. Today shredded pork, buns, cabbage salad, beans and banoffee pavlova.

Chicken about to be trussed for the spit; it's trial and error to see if it is too big to fit and not be too close to the elements. If too big it will be put in the oven with the roast potatoes, as will the bread and butter pudding that at the moment is soaking up the eggy liquid.
