It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Lavender is much more than a flower and a scent for soap and potpourri. It grows freely and wildly in France, (in my garden and yours, too) and was a subject the Impressionists returned frequently. And lavender is a lovely spice to grace your table, too. Continue reading

We’ve talked about vinaigrettes in the Mother Sauces section. This is a lower calorie version with huge flavor and it still has the mouth-feel of the higher fat version. The reason…gum. Not the kind you chew for fresh breath or bubbles, xanthan and guar gums. Anyone who is gluten-free knows about this, but they usually use it to replace gluten in bread.

After I butterflied the loin, I seasoned the top of the meat which will be the inside of the roll, spread a mixture of dried fruit, pears, cherries, figs, and apricots which I soaked in tawny Port, added some roasted peppers and a poached leek, then rolled the whole thing up, tied it, and seasoned the outside; it can now be stored overnight in the fridge or roasted immediately, so this is a great party dish.
