Shoulder Of Roast Lamb with Rosemary and Garlic

Posted by borlova on March 9, 2008

Well tonight we have slight deviation from traditional Roast lamb, added a few other things like onion fresh tomatoes and red wine salt n pepper to the roast,and some good old roast potatoes and a bit of steamed broccoli. should be nice i was going to do a red wine and cranberry jus but no cranberries and i have drunk the rest of the red wine :-) a nice cheap Chilie red from Tesco £2.78.

eating this in Romania would be possible but tracking down the lamb would be a task. i never did come across it much only at Easter or Paste, there must be some religious significance in this but i admit to not understanding it :-)

Liver Curry with spring onions and beefy onion soup

Posted by borlova on June 17, 2007

improvisation is the key word here for cooking in any style, just go with what you have got bit like cooking as a single person or student cooking…some real hash up meals… essential ingredients are normally missing and you just have to cook with what you have heres some inspiration for those struggling for a meal i hope some day Gordon Ramsey can see these and maybe use one of them or Jamie Oliver ..i tend to work a bit in the style of Jamie Oliver …coincidently his stuff is popular on Romanian TV right now… so to my first concoction and very tasty too..made a very nice meal which i would be pleased to offer friends.
