Cookbook 175: Simple Italian – The Essentials of Italian Home Cooking

Rewriting another recipe – Lamb racks with potatoes and cherry tomatoes
So I found some lamb racks going cheaply and looked for a recipe that was simple (given my household has the plague currently) and tasty. I was cooking for 3, because only the three meat-eaters were at home. This recipe should be pretty easy to scale. The recipe below is inspired by this one by …

Cookbook 115: Curry: Fragrant dishes from India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia
I bought Curry: Fragrant dishes from India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia after flipping through my sister’s copy when I was visiting her for lunch. It looked interesting, I like curries, and my sister said that the recipes she’d made from it were quite tasty. So of course I wanted to try it out. I was …
