Roast Lamb: Reinventing the Humble Roast

Roast meat – yes, this primal worship of the flesh has been, is and will be central to human feasting. In spite of much more awareness surrounding the consumption of meat, the roast is still a centrepiece at Christmas, Easter and countless other festivals and gatherings. It is essential to Argentina’s gaucho culture with asado; it showcases New Zealand’s indigenous heritage in Hangi, the tradition of roasting meat over heated stones set into the ground – but in many homes globally, the ‘humble’ roast is enjoyed all year round.
