Mothership Sunday roast pork
Pork shoulder is a cheaper cut so it's great value, you always get fantastic flavour in your gravy from the dripping, you get the double bonus of crackling – which we fight over in my house – and it's very forgiving during the cooking process. Make full use of the oven, cook a massive joint like this, and embrace the leftovers (see tip below left).
