Thanks Nagi! For Christmas I cooked your Maple Glazed Ham, Greek slow cooked lamb, Roast Pumpkin, Spinach and Feta Salad and as a sneaky treat on Boxing day the Croque Monsieur... everything was amazing and I love your recipes. Thankyou So much for sharing and I look forward to your cookbook. xx

Lorraine - are you using a whole one or just the tails? :) You can't go wrong with garlic butter parsley and lemon! But if you can tell me the cut you are using I can walk you through how to prepare it (it's super easy). N x
