SUNDAY LUNCH

In this new series, Barney Desmazery offers something a little different for Sunday lunch. Italian home cooking inspires his first menu

An Italian take on roast pork, with a flourless chocolate cake for afters

Sunday is the one day of the week when we all make a bit more of an effort in the kitchen. You can feel it in shops and food markets – people will pay a little more for something extra-special, and seek out interesting cuts they’ve read about, or build their lunch around what’s new and seasonal. As a nation of foodies, Sunday is our day, and that’s what this new series celebrates. The recipes you’ll find here each month will always be unfussy but special – food to be served from the middle of the table, family-style. So, where better than Italy to draw inspiration for our first Sunday together, with my take on maiale al latte (milk-braised pork).
