The fat of the land

Fat means flavour, and whether it's lard, dripping or suet, a little of the good stuff in a cake, pudding or roast can be gold on the table. This isn't everyday food, but it's great for a treat. Enjoy delectable updates on old-fashioned favourites like dripping-fried bread with a brassica and goat's cheese salad, root vegetables crispy roast in goose fat, or duck confit with bean soup. Pass the pork scratchings.
