Michelle, my bookshelves are so full, I’ve started giving away cookbooks at parties. Trevor asked me if I thought I was Oprah.

Good for you, just take it nice and slowly. If you are cooking with offal, a good tip is to cook it nice and quickly, searing the outsides. It tastes much better.

That lamb with garlic risotto and fennel crunchy salad just sounds incredible! I’ll be bookmarking this to make in spring when the ingredients are in season :-)

Thank you Brendon! Yeah, the lamb is really delicious. I’m excited to try more from Le Pigeon – my family was vegetarian when I was a kid, so I’ve been slow to come around to less-common types of meat, but I want to be more adventurous about it!

Hi Katie, these recipes look great. I’m really liking that risotto recipe you features/reviewed first. It would make a great spring lunch. That book sounds really interesting. I appreciate that Le Pigeon are coming up with ways to use offal and other meats. It saves up on wastage and is better for the environment to eat less beef and lamb etc. Great photos as well :)
