Sunday Roasts: A Year's Worth of Mouthwatering Roasts, from Old-Fashioned Pot Roasts to Glorious Turkeys and Legs of Lamb, by Betty Rosbottom, brings together more than 75 inspiring recipes for slow-cooked meats and vegetables, and strategies for enjoying good food along with good living.

Betty's earthy sensibility celebrates fresh ingredients—vegetables, butter, herbs—and the primal irresistibility of roasted meats. With 50 recipes for roasts ranging from beef to fish, there's a main course for almost every week of the year, with more than 25 recipes for sides and sauces to round out the meal.

It doesn't get much simpler or more satisfying than Bistro Roast Chicken with Garlic, Onions, and Herbs or Lamb Shanks with Dates and Olives. A simple starch and a green salad make either dish a feast! When your Sunday calls for something elegant yet sumptuous, Standing Rib Roast with Porcini Mushroom Sauce or Scallop Gratins with Lemon-Garlic Bread Crumbs fit the bill. Butternut Squash with Walnut-Goat Cheese Crumble or Honey-Glazed Carrots and Parsnips slide into the oven during the last leg of cooking. A Four-Hour Roasted Pork Shoulder for Pulled Pork Sandwiches is great for a picnic with the entire family in attendance, or a leftover meal that you'll happily consume over the course of the week. Needless to say, any of these roasts are perfect for your holiday menu.

With a timeless collection of recipes for roasts in all price ranges and for every season, Sunday Roasts will become a staple in your kitchen.
