Rack of pork always looks spectacular and is easy to carve, too – it makes for a great main for Christmas dinner. Brining the pork adds texture and flavour, bringing both sweetness and spice to it. Pork and cabbage have always made a perfect combination and this roasted cabbage side is sophisticated and flavourful. Apples and pork are another superb combination, but this time the apples star in a simple dessert.
