  • “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!!”
