Butterflied BBQ Lamb with Lemon, Garlic, Rosemary and Thyme

Rick Stein’s Cornish Briam
Rick gives briam, a Greek dish of roasted vegetables in a tomato sauce, a Cornish slant with locally-grown veg.

Vodka Lemon Drizzle Pancakes with Blackberry Compote
A celebration of autumn blackberries, Rick’s pancakes are served with a compote spiked with vodka, inspired by a distillery in St Austell he visited for his TV series.
