Upping my game?

Lazy morning with no walk as we were lunching with A&J. We had thought about calling into IKEA at Purley way but the traffic was awful so we decided ‘not on a Sunday’ . We arrived by 12.30 to see a big slab of beef on the side and realised lunch would be a bit delayed! However we chatted and admired the new decor so it wasn’t a problem. In laws arrived around 2.30?! The meal was delicious and any ‘back seat driving’ about the time needed to cook beef was not needed. I think I need to investigate new recipes as I am a bit stuck in my ways - No.1 recommended a book by ottenlengi but I don’t want to buy a whole book only to use one or two? Copied this one to try ? Might be interesting - but OH will need a chicken breast on the side( not being a fan of meatless meals?)
