I did wonder during the project if there's anyone else doing the same thing or had done the same thing, but never bothered to search and I'm glad I didn't otherwise it'll be a distraction to my learning process.<br /><br />Now that the project is done, I can freely look around and thank you for introducing me to Kathryn's blog.<br /><br />During the project I commented a lot to the sub-headings or stories that accompany the recipes. I often didn't include measurements because readers can find them from the book; and just simplified the cooking instructions.<br /><br />I also used to have a bad habit (sometimes still re-occurring) of comparing what I cooked to the pictures in the book. I know I shouldn't because I could never compete with professional photographers and food stylists. <br /><br />When I made this Moroccan lamb, the first thing that I noticed and Kathryn did too is the missing dried fruits in Jamie's pictures.<br />Strange I thought. But this is not the only pictures in the book that look different to the recipes I can tell you :)<br /><br />I hope you make this Lamb because it's utterly delicious. I've made it twice now and I added smoked paprika to the couscous for an extra flavour. I might make this again for Easter.<br /><br />Have a nice day and I hope you stop by again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163446958249760582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296694970544617459.post-58631961091908677782011-04-02T18:32:08.446+01:002011-04-02T18:32:08.446+01:00This post is eerily similar to the Mad Moroccan La...This post is eerily similar to the Mad Moroccan Lamb post at Kathryn Cooks With Jamie blog. <br /><br />Michael Toa's post (2010): "Jamie says this may seem a bit of a palaver, but actually it's a pretty easy dish to make. Yes, the lamb took about three hours to cook, but I didn't have to do anything while it roasts in the oven. And the result was meltingly tender lamb... yum. <br />So this is what I've done... First, I scored the whole shoulder of lamb in criss-crosses and then I rubbed the meat all over with freshly ground up cumin, coriander and fennel seeds, black peppercorns, dried chilli and sea salt before pushing some fresh rosemary leaves into the cuts. The lamb then went to a hot oven for two hours." <br /><br />Kathryn's post (2006): "Jamie describes this dish as 'a bit of a palaver' - but worth it. I didn't find it that much of a palaver, because it was easy.<br />First, I scored the shoulder of lamb in criss-crosses, then ground up cumin, fennel and coriander seeds with black peppercorns, dried chillies and salt, and rubbed the mix into the lamb, before pushing rosemary leaves into the slits and roasting in a conventional roasting tray for 2 hours." <br /><br />There are more similar paragraphs throughout both posts. <br /><br />http://kathryncookswithjamie.blogspot.com/2006/11/mad-moroccan-lamb.htmlFianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3296694970544617459.post-14661782316389282242010-06-21T15:22:36.965+01:002010-06-21T15:22:36.965+01:00Anonymous, thank you for your comment.
