Full Sunday roast

We had a wonderful roast dinner. The gravy was really tasty. We used a chicken from our local butchers, and although this is a bit more expensive, it's worth it. The chicken lost very little water, unlike some supermarket alternatives, so a smaller chicken will do. The main reason we buy from the butcher is flavour, and the chicken is particularly flavoursome. Now this Sunday roast will come to no more than 700 calories, which sounds a lot, but it is so filling that we tend to eat less food later.

The leftover chicken will make some nice salads and sandwiches. Once all the meat has been removed, we can boil the carcass to make a stock.

This was our new vegetable - the romanesco cauliflower. I thought it tasted quite nice, but wasn't really sure about the texture thing. My partner enjoyed it more than me. I'm thinking it may be a great addition to a vegetarian curry perhaps.
