Herb & Garlic Scented, Double-Rib Lamb Chops

You won’t find lamb chops better than these. Thick, with a very dark exterior, a rosy-red interior and a savory flavor that leaves nothing to be desired. This recipe illustrates perfectly the concept of how uncomplicated food can provide a big dining experience. Make sure your exhaust fan works, and serve your chops on plain sturdy plates, so their beauty can shine.. read more

Baby Arugula with Roasted Pears, Spicy Pecans & Crumbled Gorgonzola

This has become my most favorite salad, whether with the added protein (as the main event) or without it and served as a first course (and it’s beyond amazing, if served with crisp duck confit!) The combination of peppery baby arugula, spicy pecans, salty Gorgonzola and the luscious roasted pears, I’m just in love! I trust that this is a salad you will be making for yourself and for your favorite people forever. read more.
