Did you recognise her? Yes, that’s Australian actor Naomi Watts turning down a date with Tom Cruise in favour of her mum’s lamb roast. Tom Cruise was then fresh from the success of Top Gun and Cocktail and hotter than hot, but Naomi knew what was truly desirable and important.
I’m with Naomi on this. As a meat eater, a lamb roast is one of the ultimate feasts, reminding me of countless family dinners. Lamb roast is what I cook when we have people over and want to make a meal more of an occasion, or when I want to spoil my family.
