I was also a vegetarian until I started having kids! And although I love the smell of a good roast, I haven't been able to make the leap to cooking (or eating) meats that still look like they might be bleeding--as opposed to "white" meats. I did want to say, however, that your plum cake was SO VERY YUMMY! Keep the receipes coming.

How did you know the latter was the fate of tomato paste in my house? Great tip. We got a pre-cooked, boil-in-bag to reheat roast from the store last week - tasty but laden with sodium. I lamented that I wished I could make such a savory roast - and now I can. Guess what I'm doing this weekend? I'll let you know how it turns out.

I'm a vegetarian, so I won't be trying this recipe, but I do have a question. My onions never turn out "nice and deeply golden." Instead, they turn into a big, hot, onion-soupy pan of mush. Why is that?
In other news, another great idea for the leftover tomato paste is to drop it into an icecube tray. I keep extra trays on hand for lemon juice and any other little liquidy blob of whatever that might be handy to be able to drop into the pan by the tablespoonful.

Despite my fear of cooking fancy meats (hey, it's not chicken nuggets, so it's FANCY!) and my 9 week pregnancy nausea...I will make this pot roast!

I love Yorkshire Pudding! I grew up eating it every Easter with leg of lamb and every Christmas with roast beef. This pot roast looks wonderful; we will definitely try it. Thanks Catherine!

You guys, promise me that you'll write here if you try any of the recipes or if you have questions about them, okay? I'm so thrilled that some of you already made the plum cake.

This looks delish! I love the new direction you're taking here. Talking/reading about food is one of my favorite things, and reading anything written by Catherine Newman is another one!

Love the Intermezzo reference =) I would vote for it as the most famous salad restaurant, as well! Can't wait to try this pot roast! Thanks for another good one!

This looks great...and the tomato paste thing - smart! Why didn't I think of that?
I've been reading you since 2003 or so and came to your book reading at Barnes and Noble in Bethesda, MD a couple years back...I'm a big fan of your writing and I'm excited about this new food blog...Thanks for all the great writing over the years, it has had a big influence on me as a Mom :)

Labeling the bag of frozen stuff is always so important - we were drinking a smoothie not so long ago, bright red, believing it was raspberries but the taste was soooo different, yet familiar... three sips in and it dawned on me - beets. Indeed that was a healthy shake for my kids anyway, once I named what was on the tip of my tongue, I couldn't let any more pass!
