Another mouthwatering meaty feast from our Tebay Services photoshoot.

This pot roasted shoulder of lamb recipe would make a perfect New Years dish or something simple you can pop in the oven to be ready for when you get back after a wintery walk with the family.

Definitely worth considering popping an order in at the farm shop - their lamb is sourced from a Cumbrian Hill farm in Orton where it grazes on fresh pastures, natural grasses and wildflowers. So you know you are eating quality, locally sourced meat.

Here's our recipe - let us know how you get on!

Pot Roasted Shoulder of Lamb

Ingredients:
- 1 x 2kg (4.5lb) lamb shoulder b***d & rolled
- 1 bunch of fresh rosemary, leaves separated from stalks, keep the latter
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 2 onions
- 1 celery stalk, roughly chopped
- 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
- 25 g unsalted butter
- 150 ml white wine
- 300 ml stock

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Chop the rosemary leaves and mix them with the crushed garlic, sea salt, and pepper. Smear this mixture into the inner side of the lamb. Roll the lamb like a Swiss roll and tie it with string to help keep its shape.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and sear the outside of the lamb until golden brown.
4. Place the vegetables and rosemary stalks in a large ovenproof dish with a tight-fitting lid. Put the lamb on top of the vegetables and season. Add the butter and white wine.
5. Cover with the lid and cook for 1½ hours. After this time, check the lamb and reduce the heat to 120°C, cooking for a further hour. The lamb should be well-cooked, falling apart, and ready to melt in your mouth.
6. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, pour off the excess fat, add the meat and pour in the stock. Boil and reduce by about a third, skim off the fat, strain and serve.

3. While cooking the potato, roll out the pastry to 3mm thickness then cut out disks to fit a cupcake pan and your pie tops using a 3” snowflake-shaped cutter.

4. Line a 12-hole cupcake/muffin tray with a thin coating of butter and then add the pastry and return both the lined tray and pie tops to the fridge to rest for half an hour.

More alternative festive roasts from our Tebay Services shoot...a delicious Venison Wellington. The venison in their farm shop is responsibly sourced from Cumbrian estates plus there are loads more delicious products made by local producers.

If this photo is teasing your tastebuds, here's the recipe below so you can prepare one for your next festive event!

Ingredients

For the duxelle:
- 25g/1oz unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 225g/8oz mushrooms, finely chopped
- A good pinch of chopped parsley and chopped thyme
- salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the venison:
- 350g-450g/12-16oz ready-made puff pastry
- 450g-675g/1lb-1lb 6oz venison loin
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 50g/2oz unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 2 tbsp black peppercorns, crushed in a pestle and mortar
- 200g/7oz pâté
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- roasted carrots and parsnips and braised red cabbage, to serve

Method
1. To make the duxelle, melt the butter in a frying pan and sauté the shallot and garlic until soft, but not browned.
2. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Stir in the herbs. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
3. For the venison, roll out the pastry until large enough to wrap around the venison. Leave to rest in the fridge.
4. Season the venison with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the butter in a large frying pan and, when foaming, add the venison. Sear until coloured on all sides but not cooked. Roll in crushed black pepper and leave to cool.
5. To make the wellington, spread the pâté along the centre of the pastry and cover with the duxelle mixture. Place the fillet on top. Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg and fold over to enclose the meat and stuffing. Trim off any excess pastry and turn the parcel onto a buttered roasting tray. Leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
6. Brush the pastry with a little more beaten egg and cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
7. Serve with roasted carrots and parsnips and braised red cabbage.

We are a big fan of Tebay Services and their gorgeous farm shop so it was, of course, a joy to work with them on some Christmas content. This one is a great alternative to your Christmas centre-piece - a pot roasted shoulder of lamb. Simply delicious!

The farm shop has a spectacular array of produce sourced from local providers. If you ever find yourself on the M6 round Penrith way then pull over for a very special kind of service break. You won't be disappointed!

What a fab event we had last night. We had ladies from a local WI over at the studio indulging in a plant-based foodie evening. To kick things off I ran a session with some tips and demonstrations of plant-based dishes. This led to some great discussions and I even learnt a thing or two myself. Then later everyone got stuck into a delicious plant-based menu of: -
Cauliflower and parmesan torte
Roast carrot and harissa hummus
Creamy butterbeans with parmesan, cavolo nero & dill
Roast beetroot, feta and walnut salad
Celeriac slaw
Homemade focaccia.

And for pud a date and orange baked cheesecake.

The atmosphere was absolutely brilliant, so much laughter and banter. Everyone left with smiles on their faces, a newly invigorated passion for veggies and, of course, well fed and watered! After all, !

Hopefully, over the last couple of weeks, you have seen our feed flooded with our beautiful new branding. Our hearts and souls have been poured into its manifestation and we have these two gorgeous humans to thank for it Anna VDF Creative and Nessbee Marketing Services. Together they made Craig and I pull back all the layers and really think about who we were and what we envisioned At The Kitchen to be. The process was challenging but worth every minute of brainstorming and mood-boarding now that we have seen the fruit of our endeavours. If you are looking for a brand refresh or getting your business out there for the first time, I can wholeheartedly recommend Anna and Ness. You will not be disappointed!

Time to spotlight our fab new logo on the grid and say how much we LOVE it. crafted our logo after long sessions talking about our backgrounds, passion for food, and vision for At The Kitchen. Her idea to incorporate a nod to my Italian roots in the font and the handwritten element for the personal, human touch is perfect. And the logo colour we call 'cooked pasta'! Very apt wouldn't you say!

Affogato! In my mind the perfect pud. So simple! Pop a good dollop of quality vanilla ice cream with a shot of espresso. It’s absolutely delicious served with a drizzle of Pedro ximenez - described as a liquid Bon bon full of sticky sweetness!! Not wanted to sound like an old lady but a small glass of this sweet Sherry served cold with blue cheese is also a fav. Get it on the Christmas list.

Recipe time! When it's grey and drizzly outside and your toying whether or not to hit the 'on' button on your heating thermostat then perhaps consider warming your cockles with some hearty food - such as this Veggie Cottage Pie made all the more glorious by being served with a cauliflower cheese topping. There is a cheeky dollop of Branston in there too which really adds a flavour boost.

Love seeing the studio all dressed up and ready to party! Ask hosted an 18th birthday party for a local family at the weekend, lots of fun had all round.

Perfect weekend baking, this recipe is simple and delicious. Cantuccini are classic Italian biscuits traditionally served after dinner with Vin Santo, a sweet dessert wine. You can mix up the flavours by replacing the almonds with pistachios or hazelnuts or some grated orange or lemon zest replacing the rosemary would be delicious also. Or perhaps try a few drops of vanilla extract rather than the almond essence. Once baked wrap in bags and take round to your friends and family dinner parties, you will be such a hit!!!
