Ina Garten's company pot roast

[Phil]

If you don't try this, your missin' somethin' special. I'm sure there are several of you out there that make a pot roast along the lines of Ina's, but I never have. This is an outstanding meal. I used an average roast. Actually it had been frozen for eighteen months. I also cut down on the salt because of what I read in the reviews. I did not use the leaks because the store wanted $4.95 for the two. I did use a good wine and stuck to the rest of the recipe. I hope you try it. It's a five star dinner.

Phil, I saw the episode in which Ina prepared this dish and I practically drooled all over the TV. Nice to hear someone who has tried it and liked it.

Katie, we drooled all over our plates while eating it.

I love Ina and I've tried several of her recipes with excellent results.

I saw that episode and thought everything looked great. I think Ina cooks great food. The only problem I have with her show, is she uses a lot of specialty liquers that most people do not have, and would not buy for just one dish. I have no problem with her using those high end ingredients, but she could at least tell an alternative if you don't have the liquer she is using. I am fortunate enough to have a good selection of liquers and a neighbor that has an even bigger selection and has no problem letting me borrow some for a recipe. I mean I saw her use pear flavored brandy, and not many people are going to go out and buy pear flavored brandy for just one recipe.
