If you’re thinking about cooking some really nice pork over a hot, smoky fire, then these particular steaks, cut from the top of the shoulder, might be just what you’re looking for
Crispy pork with thyme, garlic and fennel seeds
This is one of the simplest ways to cook pork belly and easily one of the tastiest
Grilled lamb with lavender, feta and honey

Lamb’s liver has a lovely, delicate flavour when it’s fresh and it works extremely well with all these wonderful spices

This dish is an emblem of something lost; of the rural, the physical
Flat breads with chilli and fennel sausage, burrata and herbs
Here is everything I want to eat, in one place, day or night
Venison with crushed coriander, rhubarb, orange and fennel
This is a lovely, fresh way to enjoy a wild meat, particularly venison, which is so often served in dark, rich, savoury guises
