My Fabulous Cooking Show: Mustard-Coated Rack of Lamb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mscJaUpluiQ&t=16s Mustard-Coated Rack of LambCooking rack of lamb is very simple, allowing you gourmet appeal without a lot of work.

A Taste of New Zealand

A few weeks ago, one of my favorite customers approached me about catering a birthday dinner for his wife that would feature foods from New Zealand.

This week I'm sharing the menu and the recipes that were served. All of the recipes were created by New Zealand chefs.

Mediterranean Feast!

I didn't grow up eating lamb. In eastern North Carolina we regularly dined on fried chicken, barbeque and chicken and dumplings. In fact, Vince and I had been married for several years before I tasted my first lamb at a restaurant in Charleston, SC. It was love at first bite! Rack of lamb, leg of lamb, lamb chops – they're all wonderful! I especially like this simple recipe for rack of lamb that has been frenched and sliced into lollipop chops. Besides being a delicious entree, the lollipops can also be served as a fun-to-eat hors d'oeuvre. My recipe for tzatziki-like sauce is made with sour cream and dill but could easily be substituted with ...
