Today is #MakeItMonday, so this post is recorded in conjunction with a Facebook Live post. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to show you a fun little make ahead fruit and nut course. The currants take a couple of weeks to mature in flavour so that is part of why I am showing you how to make them now. The almonds take just 5 minutes, but the taste of pan-roasted nuts rather than store bought is incomparable. I took inspiration for our menu this year from The White House cookbook of 1887. Even though we are back in...

Simplicity is the key here. 3-4-pound chuck roast Kosher salt Fresh cracked black pepper All-purpose flour The Method First buy the nicest looking pot roast you can find. About 3 pounds is good.
