Cooking styles and fashions change with the times, but while those dishes your parents and grandparents used to make might be off trend, they were usually tasty and often comforting.

One of my best food memories growing up has always been roasted potato. I would fill up on them every time and then get into trouble because I wouldn’t eat anything else. (In my defence, there were some terribly over-boiled Brussels sprouts on that plate!)

Both of my nannas would always cook a Sunday lamb roast — every week without fail. So did my mum. It was comforting, but it was also cooked in copious amounts of animal dripping! I still can’t live without a Sunday roast every month, but my roast is a little lighter on the fat and a lot lighter on the organs and hips! Most people don’t roast shanks but trust me, they’re delicious. And yes, I cooked these babies in an oven bag!
