OMG! A family favorite, and so easy to make! I switched Madeira for the white wine this last time, and it was incredible! This is incredible! Thank you!

Love you Nigella! You're my favorite! But this recipe is not one I would recommend. I prepared as directed and did marinate the full 48 hours, but the end product turned out too pungent and peppery with a bitter-herb flavor. I almost threw it out but was able to rescue somewhat in a braising liquid with bouillon. Bay Leaves are used in most other recipes in moderation for a reason -- it is a strong herb. And by themselves, the taste is not that pleasant so they need to be blended with more than just garlic, salt and pepper to round out the flavor. I'm not sure what the magic complementary seasoning would be but this recipe which depends mostly on Bay Leaves, is not one I will use again. So sorry! Your other recipes are ones I do enjoy and hold dear. Thanks anyway!

not sure what all of the rave reviews are about...I followed the directions to a T and the pork turned out dry and lacking in flavor...even after marinating for 6 hours. Maybe the 12-24 hr suggestion is really needed? I think with some adjusting this recipe could be alright.

We tried as indicated in recipe. W used dried Bay Leaf we purchase from the Spice section in the store. Wonderful taste and texture.

We then tried same recipe using FRESH BAY LEAVES from the produce section of the store. We covered the entire top of the roast with fresh bay leaves ...then fresh bacon on top to hold leaves in place. Bake per recipe directions.

Again...pork roast with bay leaves...enjoy!

the pork was juicy, and the preparation was easy- turned out great and i made it in a oven that was acting quirky.

This recipe has been an entertaining staple of mine since I started making it from How To Eat. I often get pork loins on sale, freeze them with the marinade and have it ready to go for the next party.
