While there is never a wrong time to indulge in a Sunday roast (I’ve been known to serve one up midweek - it is, after all, the best meal ever created) but with Autumn set in and the nights getting darker now is the ideal time to reacquaint yourself with the wonderful dish, if you made the error of leaving it.

Be it beef, lamb, pork, chicken or all four, a well prepared roast dinner with all the trimmings does something to the soul.
