While taking in the diverse activities available at the Australian Sheep & Wool Show, enjoy the chance to have a rest and regroup. What better way than having a quiet beer at one of the Grand Ridge Brewery sites to be found at the show grounds.

Grand Ridge shares our philosophy of producing a product that strives for exceptionally high standards. This family owned company aims to make the best beer in the world and so far has picked up 160 international awards. With no added chemicals or preservatives, you might like to take some home and match it with one of the superb lamb dishes our chefs and food presenters will be demonstrating at Bendigo Festival of Lamb events. If you haven't tried cooking lamb shanks in beer, for instance, then a treat awaits.

An ideal cooking vessel for lamb is the tagine. Not only does it capture all the flavours of a great slow cooked dish, but it's an ideal serving dish as well. They can be plain terracotta, which is usually the best for slow cooking, or highly decorative and a great addition to the table.Like most slow-cooking methods, getting a tagine together is easy and needs little work. The cooking vessel will do it all while you get on with other things. The terracotta versions do need some seasoning before use and this involves soaking it in water for 24 hours. The trick is not to subject it to high or extreme temperature changes. Lightly cooking base ingredients such as onion or garlic and spices, adding your lamb and liquid and then covering with the conical lid on a very low temperature will wow family and friends.That special lid will circulate the aromatic steam, so it drips back onto the lamb, so no need to keep adding liquid. If the seasoning idea doesn't appeal, there are plenty of versions in stainless steel or glazed ceramic.
Come and ask your tagine questions at the Bendigo Festival of lamb as part of the Australian Sheep & Wool Show, Bendigo 18-21 July.
