BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme, Out Like a Lamb

Is lamb in a stew? SORTEDfood help understand why millennials aren't cooking with lamb.

Why aren't millennials cooking with lamb? Ben and Barry from SORTEDfood plus food writer Yasmin Khan give Sheila Dillon some inspiration for cooking lamb on a weeknight.

Lamb. Long a staple of the UK dinner table. But one glance at the statistics and it's obvious that 'Generation Y' aren't inspired. Estimates suggest under 30s are buying just 15g of lamb a week. That's just over 10 lamb chops in a year and less than half the UK average. 

In this programme Sheila Dillon asks young butchers, food entrepreneurs and a 3rd generation sheep farmer in his thirties whether there's any saving shepherd's pie, lamb shanks and Irish stew. She gets a lesson in Iranian midweek lamb cooking from cook and author of 'The Saffron Tales' Yasmin Khan. And Ben Ebbrell and Barry Taylor from SORTEDfood share the lamb recipes which excite their 1.7 million Youtube subscribers.

Presented by Sheila Dillon
Produced in Bristol by Clare Salisbury.
