Meat

 

Andy's goal-orientated so no surprise he was up for meat. Steak's his meal of choice. My challenge? Get him to diversify - tackle other lovely stuff like roast crunchy duck, sugared bacon and lamb korma. Meat's major protein. Eat it to power yourself on. And red meat's great for sharpening the brain - it's the iron. Get yourself loads of veg, salad, and carbs with it. Try to buy free-range and local if you can.

Top Sausage Yorkshires

Classic Toad-in-the-Hole but easier and speedier. Crispy, golden and packed with bangers.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F/gas 8.
2. Start batter. Whisk eggs and milk together with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer (whisk attachment) or by hand with a balloon or electric hand whisk to look like milkshake. Leave for 20 minutes.
3. Slap bangers on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes.
4. Drizzle a bit of oil into each hole of a 2 x 4 hole individual Yorkshire pud tins. Slap in oven to preheat. Hotter they are, higher the rising.
5. Finish batter: Sift flour and pepper into the milk. Whisk furiously by hand or machine. Tip batter into a jug.
6. Remove hot tins from the oven. Sit a banger in each hole. Pour batter in right up to rims.
7. Slide tins carefully back onto middle shelf to rise. Cook without opening the door for 20 minutes or till high and golden.
