I really wanted the recipe for the Sausage & Potato bake (from today's episode), but it's not on the site!!!! Please UKTV Food post it on your site?

Is this the one from the BBC site

Yes it is! Thanks very much!

Hi Cr4ig I made this recipe a while back and it was very oily, largely would have been due to the sausages I used, just watch the 50mls of olive oil, I wouldnt use it at all next time in case the sausages were fatty again...I did think I had good ones too ... here is another link to our food channel.

The only recipes you'll get from Bill are some of the ones on his show. They dont give you all of them.

Let me know how they turn out!

G'day Shelleyk4

Thanks for the link to your food channel. I've only had a quick look, but will trawl through some recipes when I have more time. It looks really great.

Love Bill's food. I have all his books. What are his restaurants like?

Hi posset

I havent been to his restuarants (I saw him on GFL and apparently he has 3 now)...although I know one of them is next door to Kylie Kwong if you are familiar with her. (Another restuarant I'd like to try have heard conflicting reports on her cooking)...

I have kids so dont get into the city that much...one day...one day

I like his recipes too...have you tried his Lemon chicken, chinese style....I made it and it was absolutely delicious! Better than the restaurant! (Even if I say so myself) I make a lot of his cake recipes for kids and his semi freddie was lovely...

I am thinking now about going to one of his restuarants...maybe a night out is one the cards!

Thanks for the tip Shelley! I will be aware of that and let you know how it goes.

Hi Shelley

What book was the lemon chicken recipe in, any idea? I can't seem to find it - found loads others that I must try out all yummy and so fresh and fragrant, just what we need as we go into summer.

Not sure of what book Posset, but have made notes on each recipe as only a few from each show are recorded. Let me look for it and will find it for you, bear with me

Thanks shellyk64. Please do not go to any trouble. I have more than enough delicious recipes of his to whet my appetite. Spent last evening re-reading all his books!

Hi Posset

I looked for my recipe but havent found it as yet. I write them down from the tv as he is cooking....

I did however, search the recipe and you will find it in "Every Day" published November 2006 I think that cookbook coincides with the series you're seeing now...

Try it it is truly a lovely dish, my kids loved it too...I made my own fried rice for them to go with it.

Found this other recipe too which is along the same lines but not asian, although I guess you could vary it

Happy cooking!

Hi Shelly

Many thanks for your trouble. The reason I couldn't find the recipe is that I have lent that book to my sister (in the vain attempt to get her cooking). She used to work at St Vincents in Sydney. I was living in Hong Kong at the time and used to 'pop' over to visit her. I love your city and it's food - so diverse. She is back home now with a young family and I thought that book would be perfect for her to cook for, and with the kids.

When I get a moment I will give you my recipe for a butterflied leg of lamb. It was the Hot favourite of my son when he was smaller, now a teenager and he still loves it. I made another noodle, duck and mango salad for a party a few weeks ago, which went down a storm. Kids seem to love honey and or fruit with meat!

All the Best, and thanks again.

Hi

I would dearly love the butterflied leg of lamb recipe you have...I will look forward to it! Thank you very much.

Honkers isnt that far from here, I knew people used to go for the weekend to shop!

Look for that lemon chicken recipe you will enjoy it...and thank you again.

Shelley

Have you checked out the butterflied / boned leg of lamb recipes on this site?

AWT, Lotte Duncan, Camilla Schneideman, Pete Luckett, Ross Burden, Jill Dupleix

Some great recipes there.

Thanks Rosti I'll check those out too

Hi Shelley

Sorry for delay in getting back to you. So to the butterflied leg of lamb...Make a marinade of equal parts Soy Sauce, Honey and Hoisin Sauce. The amount you use will depend on how much sauce you want at the end. I used around 4-6 tablespoons of all, you can use more, but keep the ratio. Add to this some crushed garlic (2 cloves ish) and some grated ginger and a slosh of dry Sherry or Chinese cooking wine (optional). Pour over leg of lamb and leave to marinate for as long as you have got. Overnight is fine or an hour is ok too. Turn oven up to highest heat. Line roasting tin with foil, or use non stoick tin (the sauce with its high sugar content can weld itself to your roasting pan!) and place lamb plus marinade into tin. Put in preheated oven for 25-30 mins. Remove from oven after this time and leave to rest for at least 20 mins in the sauce , longer is better. I then remove lamb and reheat sauce in microwave to serve.

Hope you enjoy it Shelley. Hope above is not to vague to undestand. As I said it was a firm fav with my lad, still is.

Dear Posset

Thank you so much! Yes it is easy to understand. What did you serve with stir fried veggies homemade fried rice?

Thank you again

I used to serve relatively plain veggies and potatoes. My son liked parsnip puree with it, but that was far too sweet for me. Mashed potatoes, mashed butterbeans, you could do some noodles or simply bread and a salad. Let me know when you have tried it. Enjoy

Hi Shelley!

Made the sausage and potato dish and yes, to oily! Great flavour though.

Maybe it would work replacing the sausages with something else? Who knows!

Hi just a quick music question.On the Bill's food episode on Monday evening before the first advert break there was a song played which sounded like reggae,i was just wondering if anyone knew what the tune was cheers derek
