Rack of Lamb With Mustard and Herbs
"My daughter served this for a dinner party recently, and we all really liked it, so I asked her for the recipe. She said she got if from her one of her Williams-Sonoma cookbooks, though I don't know which one. But I think this recipe produces a wonderfully flavorful rack of lamb that we all enjoyed. I hope you do, too."

Hubby and Little Miss (DD) loved the lamb. I don't eat red meat so I can't comment on the flavour but Little Miss (6 year old) had second servings. I only used one rack of lamb and it was more then enough for one adult and one child. I will make this one again when we have company. Served it with Recipe #408349. Thank you so much NorthwestGal for posting your recipe. -
This is an awesome meal. It is from the Williams-Sonoma Bride & Groom Cookbook. I made it for the first time for Christmas dinner for my husband and me and we loved it. Since it was just the two of us, we had enough leftovers to make lamb pitas the next day and it was just as good. Then I made it for my mom & stepdad and it made enough for seconds for all four of us.

This site used to be awesome. It was at the top of its game when it was called Recipezaar, but that was many years ago. The site was purchased by Scripps and belly-flopped into mediocrity. A few of the faithful members remained, hoping to wait out the storm of corporate nonsense. But alas, it never got better and just continued on its terminal path to nothingness. So most of the loyal members have vanished and made homes at better recipe sites.
