Spring Has Sprung (or, What’s Been Cooking in My Kitchen)

Spring Has Sprung (or, What’s Been Cooking in My Kitchen)

Ahhh, Easter dinner! It seems ages ago, and I guess it was. I took the trouble to make a rack of lamb, potato galette, and fresh peas with pearl onions.The photo of the meal doesn’t show off the galette well at all, so I include a separate photo of that at the front of this … Continue reading →
