Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This roast was absolutely beautiful. I've never served a dish where everyone was grabbing their cameras to take pictures. ... The butcher provided gold crown booties that really made the roast festive. I doubled the rice as suggested by other reviewers and it was a hit too. The roast cooked more quickly then indicated in the recipe, it was a 10 pound roast that was done in 2 1/2 hours. I will definitely make this again.Read more

This pork needed a sauce. The pork was fine and made a nice presentation, but it was blah. I was really surprised after... reading all of the reviews Also, I wouldn't cook it until 170 either, I think it would be too dry. We cooked it until 160 and it was borderline.Read more

FANTASTIC
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Never cooked a crown roast but decided to go w/Paula's recipe after looking at many others. I did this for a special... occassion. Used a 7.5 lb roast and rubbed it with Paula's house seasoning. Doubled the stuffing but I added celery and instead of water I used half white wine and half chicken broth and also added 1/2C dried cranberries. I took it out of the oven when it reached 150, tented it for about 15 minutes and added booties. My guests were impressed with how moist it was and the flavor was just awesome included the stuffing mix which did not all fit into the roast. Go for it...just don't overcook. Use a meat thermometer.Read more

I had difficulty with the puff pastry. The bottom layer was very soft and soggy.
