Experiments in Cooking

This was an easy winner at home. I used fresh rosemary from the backyard. Roasted potatoes in the small toaster oven, with rosemary, s&p. And served rosemary scented ground lamb over it. Inspired by this recipe with the folowing changes: Omit potatoes from the lamb […]

Fresh herbs from the garden, garlic & onion. Broccoli florets & stems, ready for the pan Onions with herbs, getting browned. One quarter of a lemon from my meyer preserves. We chopped these up finely and added them to the dish. Nothing would get done […]
