It will fly by if you don’t celebrate Sunday with a slow, roasted feast befitting of the weekend.

Roast dinners don’t belong in the past, bring your grandfather’s favourite meal of the week back. Lay the table with your best silver, rummage for that wine carafe, and celebrate Sunday in style.

The Side

An elegant vegetable textured with crunchy gremolata crumbs to sit alongside a magnificent bird.

Drinks writer Mike Bennie says, “Sunday roasts are kind of a big deal so it’s no coincidence that the suggestions here are a little more upmarket to reflect the significance of the occasion.”

Drink match: Fancy chardonnay (try Giaconda Chardonnay)

The Main

There’s something celebratory about carving at the table, and on weekends there’s always something to celebrate.

Drink match: Very upmarket Barossa red (try Standish Wine Co The Relic)

The Dessert

A modern twist on the classic crumble, this time with a sponge top and a shot of whisky. Cheers!

Drink match: Decadent finish (try Chateau Guiraud Sauternes)
