It was printed in Edith Adam”s cottage column in the Vancouver Sun Paper about 25 years ago and has graced my table at least once per year since. Tasty crusty lamb. You’ll get raves over this recipe. The parsley is so good with lamb.The preparation time does not include the 2 hours in the fridge nor the 1 hour resting.”

  • “This is yummy! I didn’t cook it for the whole time, maybe my racks were smaller. I will definately be doing this often.”

  • “Thanks Bergy for a great rack of lamb.Only thing I would do next time is add a little salt to the mixture.Cheers :)”

  • “This was excellant lamb rack, wonderful flavour and cooked to a turn. I did have a little problem keeping the coat on the rack, but enough stayed on to make it crunch. I think my problem might have been that I had to use dry bread crumbs, next time I will use fresh. In any case the flavour was perfect, love the basil, parsley and garlic combination! Thanks for posting Bergy I will be making this again!!”
