Still a favorite

Last night I tried "Buttermilk Chicken" from Kathy Gunst's Roasting and it was delicious. I used this book a lot at one point in my life, but with life changes, it hadn't been opened in a while. It's back on top of the stack now, and I will continue to try new ideas as well as returning to old favorites (Roast Pork Tenderloin with Mustard-Maple-Sage Glaze). Her recipes are very reliable. I trust her instructions and her flavor sense.

A wonderful Find

I bought this book when it first was printed. The recipes are fantastic. The Chinese flavored Roast Chicken with Roasted vegetables is THE BEST. Every recipe I have made from this book is a winner. I eagerly await another cookbook from Kathy Gunst.

Excellent book on roasting

I tried "Roasted mussels in tomato-cream sauce." It is the best and easiest mussel recipe that I have tried. Can't wait to try some of the other recipes. They all seem marvelous!

Imaginative ingredients with easy to follow directions!

In her book Roasting, Kathy Gunst provides us with over 150 mouth-watering recipes, taking a new twist on the traditional method of roasting. Many of her recipes include unique combinations of ingredients that work together very well. Her brief narrative introducing each recipe is a nice added touch. I recently tried Roast Loin of Pork with Portobello Mushroom Sauce with Roast of Three Onions as a side dish. Absolute heaven! Even our one year old daughter loved it
