But

Sharing a top-secret recipe for Lamb and Potatoes.

I LOVE cooking but I also love to have a night off every now and then and let someone else cook for me. So when my sister Stacey invited us around for dinner on the weekend I knew we would be in for a treat as her husband Wade is a fabulous cook. All we had to do was supply the nibblies and some wine!

We brought over the cheese and crackers and some Sicilian Olives that had been marinated in lemon and garlic, some caper berries and some gorgeous Australian sparkling wine!

While we were enjoying some nibblies Wade was hiding in the kitchen cooking up a storm.

He was a bit secretive about everything so while he wasn't looking I quickly snapped some pictures of what was on the menu so I could share it with you, my new and old Friday Friends:

I knew that this was going to be a risky thing to do but I was willing to take that risk so that I could share Wade's top secret recipes with you all today.

Wade was preparing Lamb wrapped in filo pastry and served on a bed of pureed peas with a side dish of roasted kipfler potatoes with cumin and fennel seeds! YUMMY!

I was lucky enough to take some pictures of the ingredients.

I even had time to photograph all of the instructions!

While Wade was wrapping the lamb in prosciutto I surreptitiously took some more pictures...
Flash off of course! 

I don't think he has caught on that I am spying on him!

The whole meal was absolutely delicious!

It went very well with a 2008 Shiraz from McLaren Vale, which is about 40 minutes from 
South Australia’s Capital city, Adelaide.


Luckily I didn't get caught taking all of these pictures and sharing this recipe with you today. You know how temperamental these male chefs are!  I will let you know next time Wade cooks and I will risk life and limb to share more fabulous recipes with you. Blogging is risky business but when you are passionate about what you do, well, you are willing to sacrifice anything!

Thanks for a fabulous evening Stacey and Wade! See you same time tomorrow night?

Best wishes,
Natasha In Oz

  3. Too funny Natasha! That lamb looks amazing and you have to love a man that cook like that! Yum to the potatoes too. I make roasted potatoes with rosemary, but cumin is something I never thought to add to roasted potatoes! Yum again! Joni

  8. Natasha, it all looks delicious. Isn't it fabulous to have one's own in house chef? :-) My "cheff" doesn't like to be in the spotlight, so I'd have to sneak to take photos. Great post! ~ Sarah

  12. That looks so good that it was definitely worth the risk. I'm in Oregon right now tasting wines for all of my friends so they won't have to try any of the bad ones. Blogging is really suited for those who will sacrifice for the greater good..

  25. Natasha,
    You are so cute, snapping those pictures...you are sneaky!! It looks like a menu one would enjoy at a fancy restaurant, how lucky to have a friend/relative cook a meal like that for you.
    I also love the word 'nibblies' that is adorable :) I don't think I have heard that before, I just love it.

  29. Yum, that looks divine Natasha. I have an Aussie lamb craving now! Clever Wade.

  30. Yummy Natasha! I love the photos, the recipe and the wine suggestion. :o) I never cook like this. It's, I'm afraid, the by-product of cooking while homeschooling for 23 years. But when the kids are gone...Ha!Ha! (evil chuckle)...we shall eat as we please and I will have more TIME to cook!

    It's such a privilege to eat the 'culinary creations' of a dedicated chef. We had a friend whose husband did all the cooking. His Thanksgiving dinner is cemented in my brain. It all came from the Bon' Appetit Magazine. It was an unforgettable taste experience!

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who has to be just a tad bit sneaky to get things on camera for blogging. Sneak peeks are wonderful, but sometimes hard to come by. :o)

  31. Thank you so much for the comment! Okay this recipe looks awesome...except I don't eat lamb! Have you ever used any other type of meat (except veal..I don't do that either)? I am so trying the potatos though! I am a carbaholic!

  32. Yum, Yum, Yum Natasha...Everythings looks soooo good. Your sister is a very lucky gal to have a hubby that knows how to cook :-) Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Hugs and Kisses,

  35. He must have been totally absorbed in his work, not to have noticed you. :) It all looked great! I might try those potatoes tonight.

  36. Tasha,
    That was the funniest blog ever. I think Wade was a little bit embarrassed about it. It does taste as good as it looks in the photos.

    Wade will have to start looking for another recipe to impress your blogging friends.

    Be Cool!!

    Stacey

    P.S. Wade doesn't have a brother, he is a one of a kind - that's why I love him so much.
