...stuffing and gravy is always a winner, but to ring the changes we also have Delia's Fast Roast Chicken with Lemon and Tarragon, and Chicken Baked with 40 Cloves of Garlic. Ever-popular is Roast Ribs of Beef, but you might like to try pot-roast, or for a change roast sirloin. Lamb can be baked, roasted and braised depending on how you like it, and if you don't want to cook a whole joint, have a look at our recipe for Baked Lamb Chops. We also have Fast-roast Pork, a simple recipe that is prepared in advance, plus recipes for a Roast Loin of Pork to choose from. Roast duck, quail, pheasant, guinea fowl and goose are all included here, and even vegetarians are not forgotten with a Cheese and Parsnip Roulade recipe Delia developed specially for Christmas time, which is a perfect no-meat option for any Sunday lunch. Don't forget, to make a roast dinner complete, visit our Cookery School where you can watch how to make Yorkshire Pudding, Perfect Gravy and Delia's Perfect Roast Potatoes
