My Lamb Recipes

My Lamb Recipes.

Lamb is an Australian favourite meat that we consume a lot of. On Australia Day lamb is heavily promoted as a meal must for that day. Lamb is certainly one of my favourite meats and I love roast lamb lunches. With Australia having a wide range of nationalities across our land, lamb recipes included here are some of those from around the World. I have made everyone listed here and I know you will enjoy these as well. Let me know if you’ve tried them…
