If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I\u2019m often asked that question and the first place that always pops into my head is New Zealand. I\u2019ve been to many beautiful countries since visiting New Zealand but it still remains my number one. I love the people, I love the culture, I love the fresh food and I love the wine. I fell in love with this country from the moment my plane landed and I was greeted by the friendly Kiwi\u2019s. What better way to experience a place than to take a road trip along the stunning coast of the North Island making stops in the quaint, eclectic Maori villages and relaxing on the serene beaches? So that\u2019s just what we did! From the bustling city and nightlife of Auckland; to the incomparable aroma of sulfur and geothermal beauty of Rotarua; to the capital city and lovely wharf town of Wellington; and finally to Lake Taupo, the home of the breathtaking Huka Falls –\u00a0this country just has much to offer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lake Taupo is where I had the pleasure of experiencing my first ever mouth-watering lamb chop. How did I get so lucky to have my first lamb chop sitting outside in sunny New Zealand staring at the wondrous mountain views? This lamb recipe is inspired by that unforgettable day. Letting the lamb chop marinate in the mustard and herb sauce makes it so tender and gives it such a delectable, earthy and tangy flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n
