We have invited friends for dinner one evening as a bit of a thankyou for lots of help they have given us recently. I am a straightforward home cook, can manage most basic recipes. I have asked what they would like and they have said they both love lamb and sticky toffee pudding. Lamb is the one thing I have barely ever cooked. So I'm looking for some inspiration please! I'm hoping for a lovely lamb recipe, even better if I can do it in the slow cooker, and ideas for sides also. I was thinking dauphinoise? Plus if you have the easiest recipe possible for sticky toffee pudding, even better, thank you

The Tom Kerridge recipe posted earlier is easy and amazing.

Indeed. It was lamb that made me realise that anchovies are not the work of Satan, but a seasoning.

If I'm doing slow cooked lamb I usually get shoulder and bung it in the slow cooker with a lamb stock cube, a bottle of cheap red and loads of rosemary and garlic. I then make gravy from the cooking liquid. It's nearly foolproof.

How long for please ?

Slow roast lamb shoulder is my favourite, I like Jamie O’s recipe. Oven roasted is much better than a slow cooker recipe IMO.

I’d go with Boulanger potatoes rather than dauphinoise which are a bit greasy alongside the lamb or This hasselback bake works well.
