My husband Christopher and I have celebrated more than 16 Valentine’s Day together, but who’s counting right? I love you honey! In the very beginning, we would do the fancy-overpriced-crowded & loud restaurant thing. While we did have some good meals, then experience was not the romance we had in mind. It felt (to me) like getting into all the trappings and social pressure that this day entails. We still like to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but more as a celebration of love and abundance than in the consomption pattern that I feel is pushed upon us.

Also, as time went by, we added 2 little munchkins to our little clan, so it made a lot more sense to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the comfort of our home and within the true meaning of family love. I decided that cooking a fantastic feast, lighting a few candles and putting our favorite jazzy music on was the best way to go about it!

Rack of Lamb with Rosemary-Panko Crust

In my opinion, lamb is best-served medium rare. All you need to do is to sear it on each side on a very hot frying pan. Once you’ve got that beautiful golden brown crust, slather it with dijon mustard and the Panko mixture, then finish cooking in the oven for an additional 13-15 minutes. Pretty easy right?
