Hi every one just in case you missed me I am back with my news letter for June.

I was away for the month of May, traveling in the spring to the Greek islands is something I enjoy so very much. The land is so amazingly beautiful and fresh, the fields are blossoming with all kinds of wild flowers, poppys are in full bloom, and the fields look like a colorful carpet .

I visited the island of Rodos. I have wonderful friends there and the good times are magical, because I believe that true friends enrich our existence!

Of course visiting Rodos means a trip to Embona! A little village tucked away at the foot of mountain Atavios about 1 hour from the city of Rodos, you probably wonder what is so special about this place? Well that’s were the locals go for exceptional seasonal food. In Embona you have to taste the spring lamb and this is what we had, roasted spring lamb the old fashion way very simple, very delicious very easy to prepare and here is my version of spring lamb.

Enjoy!
