Does anyone have the "Jamie at Home" recipe book?

If so can you look at the recipe for roast lamb.

I know he sits it on a bed of rosemary and adds garlic. Covers it in foil and puts it in a pre-heated oven (the highest temp your oven goes to) and immediately turns it down to either 150 C or 170 C and I don't know which it is. He cooks it at this temp for 4 hours.

Please could you let me know what that temp is and what weight of lamb it is. Many thanks.

Hi Misty, I did this yesterday and was the tastiest lamb i have ever eaten.

His shoulder of lamb was 2kg and you turn over down to 170.

Oh that sounds good. I put that book on my Christmas wish list but didn't get it. Is it worth buying ?

Thank you all very much for your quick replies.

Do you think it will make a difference having a boned shoulder?

Also like MegaLegs asks - is it worth buying the book?

I got it for Christmas. A friend bought it for me because I've just got an allotment and its got loads of tips on growing your own fruit and veg.
I buy all his books though (when discounted), find them really easy to follow and always get great results.

It's only £9.99 now in W H Smiths

Will try the lamb one on Sunday...

I would reduce cooking time if boneless.

Thanks malovitt - any ideas how long to reduce it by?

I have just had this for my Tea. It is amazing. If you love lamb shanks, you will love this. Every part of the meat is as juicy and tender as a lamb shank.

I would tend not to do a boneless one, as I think cooking meat whilst on the bone gives it that extra special something. It was really easy to get the meat off the bone for serving, it just fell off!

Couldn't believe how easy this was and what a great result I got. I will never buy a leg of lamb again.

Will have to buy the book now as have just invited friends we go on holiday with over for Sunday lunch (to plan thi syears trip - yippee)and said I'd try the lamb.
