Frequently asked questions

Why are the vegetables cooked separately?
By steaming the root vegetables in a separate pot they keep their shape and flavour, and are gently folded into the tender meat only at the very end.
What is a knifepoint of sugar?
A knifepoint is the small amount that sits on the tip of a knife – here just a hint of sugar to round off the vegetables.
