    This recipe was very easy and flavorful! Made this for Valentine's day and my boyfriend loved it. The shallot viniagrette on top made the dish! Did not have any juices leftover from the lamb, but it was delicious nonetheless.

    As per other reviews, I purchased the lamb at Wegmans and it was prepackaged and trimmed of all fat. If you're not familiar with cooking lamb I would suggest you research online. I personally have only cooked lamb one other time and didn't have any issues, but I also educated myself through sources on the internet. A thermometer is a MUST when cooking meat otherwise you can easily undercook or overcook, which would ruin this perfect dish.

    Would highly recommend everyone to try!

    Absolutely delicious. The searing on the stove top is really key to these coming out nicely. If rack of lamb weren't so expensive, I would make this all the time. The rosemary is a perfect complement to the lamb.

    The lamb was good, But like some of the other people that posted, I am a novice when it comes to working with Lamb. The piece of lamb I was working with needed to be trimmed of the fat..and since the recipe didn't tell me to do that...I didn't know. Definitely could have done without all the fat. I agree with the other review...I didn't know how long to keep the Lamb in the oven for. I'd say it needs to be there for 35-40 minutes to be properly cooked. Also, the vinaigrette was not good...once you put the juices from the lamb it became hard like when fat cools down. However, I could do without the vinaigrette all together, because the actual lamb tasted delicious with just the rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil. Overall, I thought the dish was GREAT! You just need to make sure to get a piece of Lamb with not so much fat and then you still need to trim and clean it up before you season and sear.

    If this is your first time making rack of lamb, I do NOT recommend this recipe, or do some research first, which is what I should have done. The flavors for the actual lamb turned out well, but the actual recipe is very lacking with directions. I didn't know how long to put the lamb in the oven, and my meat thermometer was not reliable, so it ended up undercooked and we ended up having to sear it at the end. Also, I got the racks from the butcher and was not aware of how much I had to trim it and clean it up. It doesn't say what kind of pan to roast the lamb in, so I put it in a roaster - not sure if that was correct or not.

    While the flavor of the lamb was good, the vinaigrette did not turn out well. I only got fat juices from the lamb and it made the vinaigrette too greasy and congealed when it cooled.

    Again - I'm sure the recipe is good if you know what to do with the lamb, but as a novice, start with something with clearer directions.

    Delicious! Best lamb I have ever had! The recipe was very easy to follow. I used plenty of salt, pepper and rosemary for the potatoes, and they turned out delicious as well!

    I am not a big fan of lamb, but my husband is - so I made this dish for Valentine's day. It was such an easy dish to prepare and the taste is out of this world! The potatoes were a little bland, but the vinaigrette kicked it up a notch. I will definitely be making this for my next special occasion!
