Roast Beef with Fresh Horseradish

Friday, 5 June 2009 12:10 P GMT+01
Grass-fed, properly matured, ready to roast... It must be Sunday Lunch...I've blogged elsewhere about roast beef and horseradish, but it is one of those meals that rightly comes round time and time again.

Oxtail stew

Monday, 18 February 2008 2:14 P GMT+01
This really is the epitome of a winter dinner.  Coming back from a frosty tramp through the fields what could be better than the soft smell of a rich oxtail stew all ready for the table?

The Price of Cheap Beef - is all beef 'unethical'?

Wednesday, 19 October 2005 2:05 P GMT+01
In a recent column in The Guardian, George Monibot makes a typically confused claim that eating British beef is unethical, but eating Brazilian beef far more so. On the latter of these points, I can't help but agree with him.The thrust of the arg

A great British tradition - Roast Beef

Monday, 17 October 2005 1:43 P GMT+01
Britain has a great tradition of roasting meats - the French don't call us Roast Beef for nothing. This is partly due to the Brits having long had separate beef and dairy herds. So when you tuck into that French steak, while it has tons of flavou
