This was absolutely the most flavorful pork roast I have ever prepared and well worth the extra time to cook. My husband loved the onions the most but all 3 segments of the recipe were the best. Even my husband loves to watch Anne. She is very special.

My loin roast was a little skimpy, so I took a queue from Giada and sliced my roast in half, spread some of Anne's herb mixture in the middle and then wrapped the roast in bacon and proceded. It was awesome.

I also did the applesauce and cabbage from this episode. They all were totally awesome and reminded me of my 2nd-generation-european mother's dishes. Really great and unfortunately not current food fashion.

I really enjoyed sharing this updated taste of history with my girls.

Many thanks Anne.

Like a few others, it did take longer than the stated cooking time to get the pork loin cooked properly. The extra wait was well worth it.

As there are 2 of us, we had a lot of leftovers. Some I gave to a co-worker and some we had for lunch or dinner over the next few days. Even two days later the pork was still moist and flavorful.

This was the first time i had made a bone-in pork roast and it was absolutely fantastically delicious. My mouth watered during the entire show and i went out and made this the following night. Like one of the other reviewers, I didn't use the pan drippings in the applesauce just because my timing was off (i started the pork the night before to save time during the week and finished it off i the oven the next day. I will definitely make a double batch of applesauce the next time because it was fantastic. The whole meal was simple and delicious and totally impressed my guests who remarked several times that it looked right out of a gourmet magazine spread and they felt like they were in a restaurant. The onions were delicious and were worth smelling the entire house up while I sliced them.

I love Chef Anne. Everything I have tried of hers is always delicious and fun to make. Please keep her show on the air!

I made this recipe the day after the episode aired and I went to work telling everyone I made the perfect meal. The pork was moist and tender and soooo flavorful. The onions were awesome and even my pickiest eater, my 11 year old daughter, ate them. Along with the pork and apple sauce I made roasted sweet and white potatoes. I seasoned the potatoes with dried rosemary, olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper. They were a great complement to the pork.

This is one great recipe. I used some of the herbs in my backyard for the herb paste (basil, sage, thyme and they worked very well. I used a digital thermometer to determine when the pork was finished cooking. It reached 150 about 15 minutes beyond the recommended time. After I took it out of the oven, the temp rose to 165 within about 15 minutes more. It was incredibly moist with a delicious flavor. Don't try to guess the doneness by time, though!

The onions were great on the side, but the applesauce was absolutely killer!! Next time I do this (and I will, soon! I'll use 6 instead of 4 apples, because everyone wanted more...

The house smelled great as it cooked and I had a few impatient family members who were not happy about waiting to eat the dish. But they were happy soon thereafter!!

The pork was fabulous! It did need to be cooked about 25 minutes longer then the recipe called for. I didn't use the drippings from the pan for the applesauce, I found it too oilly but the applesauce was great w/ just the apple cider and I used skim milk instead of heavy cream.

Oh my! I saw this show and my mouth was watering the whole time. Not only is this pork roast as good (or better as Anne said, it's better than any pork I've had in a restaurant. I made the applesauce using a mix of sweet and tart apples and did not add sugar. The drippings from the pan really brought out the apple flavor. We're planning this meal again over the holidays. Thanks Anne!!
