Limonetti and Lamb

I received the first order for Limonetti today, they look and taste beautiful. I have a few new customers (Cornwall, Hertfordshire, Canterbury amongst other places), but I am waiting until the new kitchen is completed before adding too many more customers. We also hope to have a part-time employee from August!

We will hear about the Great Taste Awards in July...I am sceptical as my lovely, fresh biscuits may only be judged now (two months after they were baked...). I am judging some foods for the awards on June 24th - apparently I can judge my own biscuits, but I think I'd recognise them and be 100% biased in their favour.

The lamb is not a new biscuit. Rather, tonight we had a lovely half shoulder of lamb. I dry roasted some cumin and coriander seeds (maybe a dessertspoon of both), and two cardamom pods, and added them to four cloves of smashed garlic and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

I made four deep cuts in the lamb and stuffed them with the spice and garlic mixture. 60 minutes in a 175 degree oven, and you have one incredibly tasty supper. We had it with our new favourite vegetable, which is a 'smash' of peas, broad beans, garlic and olive oil. Comfort food for the return of winter!


A bientot!
