Roasting stuff is the easiest. In the oven for 2 hours at 200 C (or longer if it is big). The secret to stop it drying out is tin foil and a mug of water. It seems wrong but pour in a whole cup of water before you scrunch the tin foil together at the top. Perfect every time.

Roast your veg instead of boiling it. It's just as easy, keeps in the goodness and tastes 100 times better.

Do what he says -- its is so easy, you can get the kids to help she will be sooooo impressed. But take off the foil for the last 1/2 hour and put some salt on the top to get a nice crispy skin. Dont do the foil trick with pork as that needs to be un covered to get that crackling. Stick to lamb.
When it is almost ready the water will be gone and there will be lots of stuff - hard backed jucies that kind of thing, take out the meat and put the pan on the top hob and stick a glass of red wine in (drink the rest )and that will lift off all of that lamby taste - now stick that in a saucepan and add water and gravey granuals for an easy gravey cheat
