Baked New Garlic with Creamed Goats Cheese this is on page 93, perhaps not ideal if you are planning a romantic evening, but it would help keep the vampires away. Marinated and Grilled Lamb Cutlets with Hummus, Olive Oil and Coriander this is on page 115 another tasty dish which also means you could help to support British farmers, to accompany this you could cook the next dish.
