Hey there Reader,

Easter's right around the corner, and we know what that means—it's lamb season. Whether you're a first-timer or you've tried and been disappointed before, we've got your back.

THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT LAMB

Let's be honest—lamb intimidates a lot of home cooks. It's expensive and not something most of us cook regularly. The last thing you want is to serve a $75 roast that's tough as leather or bland as cardboard.

🔥 The 3 Most Common Lamb Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

1. Overcooking it into oblivion.
   ​ Lamb isn’t beef—it’s leaner and more delicate. Pull it early, and let carryover cooking do the work.
2. Forgetting to season aggressively.
   ​ Lamb can stand up to bold flavors. Use fresh herbs, garlic, mustard, or citrus to bring it to life.
3. Skipping the rest.
   ​ Let your roast or chops rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. That’s how you keep those juices in.
