Christmas
A-Z of roasts
Your festive centrepiece doesn't have to be turkey. If you fancy a change, try these different birds and roasts. Game is in season around Christmas time - match its rich flavours with sweet, spicy stuffings and tangy fruity sauces.
Beef

Fish
Goose
Guinea fowl
Ham
Lamb
Partridge
Pheasant
Pigeon
Pork
Rabbit
Venison
For a really special treat, go for venison, rabbit, a clove-studded leg of ham, or a light, but no-less-dressy baked salmon.
Fans of Nigel Slater are in luck - we've got three of his seriously meaty recipes for roast pork, lamb and beef. Delia's going for goose this year with a deliciously boozy bird served with armagnac-soaked prunes.
For an Asian twist, check out Ching He-Huang's spiced beef, and closer home, we've got our very own Antony Worrall Thompson and Brian Turner showing everyone from beginners to experts how to get your roast right, every time.
