Last year I created a page listing all the cooks in one place:

April:
Another great month of cooking. Highlights this month include:
- Crown Roast of Lamb – one of the most spectacular looking cooks I have done so far.

- More veg and fish dishes, really enjoyed them all again.
- Kerala “fried” chicken on the Vortex, so crunchy!

January:
Kicked the year off with some really nice cooks. Planet Barbecue by Steven Raichlen provided some great recipes to start off with.
- The pulled hand of pork was a nice cheap cut of meat to do pulled pork with.
- The Rotisserie leg of lamb from Planet Barbecue was outstanding, on the hit list for 2018 already!
- The Barbacoa was great as it used a lot of ingredients that were new to me, another one for the hit list in 2018.
- Lamb Steaks with Szechuan pepper cooked in cast iron on the Uuni was fantastic. Loving cast iron cooks on the Uuni!
- Smoked Lamb Shoulder by Jess Pryles was also a cracking cook. and one I would repeat with lamb shoulder again. Definitely on the 2018 hit list.
