This recipe is from Judith Hunter-Birskys' unpublished collection of secret recipes. The collection is called "The Naked Kitchenhand" and has a picture of her husband wearing only an apron and a smile. Photos of that nature will NOT be appearing on this web-site. If you see meat and two veg here, it'll be because we're cooking steak and potatoes.
