    Fantastic challenge..... Possibly easier to follow in California though than the Forest of dean in late October. FOd in June is fine.... but as the nights draw in we would ahve to be back to bottled fruits and frosen veg from the summer if it were all to be local.....

    My father is a huge fan of Fatted Calf's Guanciale and I always try to bake one for him whenever we see my parents. He has yet to be fully blown away by any of the recipes i've tried. Simplicity is key, and yours looks perfect! Can't wait to try it.
