Nana, as we called her—wasn’t one to make a fuss in the kitchen. A dedicated high school teacher and award-winning math team coach, she’d more likely be found hunched over stacks of homework in the evenings than hovering over dinner on the stove.

These 5-ingredient breakfast hand pies are a nice change of pace. A sheet of frozen puff pastry, filled with typical breakfast fixings, bakes quickly into neat pastry pies that can easily be modified to include what you have on hand.

When lamb breast is cooked correctly, it's a delicious, richly flavored meat. You know I love lamb, as evidenced by the various chops, shanks, legs, and shoulders I've featured in the past. Here we have a brand new cut to celebrate: the lamb breast.

These lamb seekh kebabs are a spicy and extremely flavorful recipe that will surely be a hit at any outdoor party.

Tomato bredie is a popular South African meal and good winter fare. Bredie is an old Cape name for a dish of meat and vegetables stewed together so that the flavors intermingle. The gravy is rich, thick, and full-bodied and obtained by using meat with a fair amount of bone and fat, rolling it in flour, and browning it before the vegetables are added. The flavor improves if left a day or two before eating. Nice with brown rice.

This balsamic-sauced lamb chop recipe is a favorite in my house. Rosemary and thyme give it great flavor. It serves four people, but if you like two chops each as we do, you'll want to double the recipe. And if you do, just remember that the sauce will take longer to reduce.

Pay attention to the cut of lamb used in this recipe. I used lamb shoulder chops, which are a fantastic value, when you consider flavor, useable meat, and price. They will probably be the cheapest lamb at the store, have more flavor and richness than leg meat, and are cheaper than shanks and loins. It takes a while for the meat to braise and fall off the bone, but it's a wait rewarded with tender, succulent chucks of lamb.

These stuffed savory pastries are a traditional Indian favorite. Lamb meat and spices are cooked together to create a mouthwatering filling for the easy to make dough. The recipe may seem complex, but it's actually fairly simple. Enjoy!

Celebrate spring with these marinated, sweet, and savory tender grilled lamb chops. Serve with green peas, rice, or noodles to make this a hearty meal.

Yes, shepherd's pie is predominantly thought of as Irish or British. But since I'm Scottish, I thought I'd give it a unique twist to suit my ancestral tastes. The use of lamb, the smoky, heather taste of Guinness® Draught (Irish, I admit), and the topping of sharp Cheddar and smoked paprika give this version its unique, smoky-sweet flavor.
