This recipe has a 3 stage process, I make no apology for the rather involved process, as the end result is really very good, better than any shop bought ribs. Take your time, as this dish can take four hours to cook.

Let the purists sneer, but I love Rocky Road with a large cappuccino. It's so homely and satisfying.

I love simple, easy dishes, this is one of those.A few ingredients, that all need no pre cooking, just mix it up and baking off, nice family food.

There's nothing quite like good old fashioned roast chicken, I personally think it can't be beaten, but too many chefs these days poo-poo the idea. It's a perfect dish for Easter Sunday, To me it's the ultimate comfort food, Fern's favourite roasts are lamb and chicken.
