"I totally agree with the previous reviewer that making this in a Le Creuset probably makes a big difference. A similar cast iron dutch oven may also do well. I just made this for the first time and it was awesome, but I did adjust the recipe a bit, as follows: I didn't have enough white wine so I mixed what I had with some red (pinot noir) and "

"Almost perfect - just needs more salt. The texture is perfect and it was very easy to roll out. It just tasted a bit flat because of the lack of salt. Most other recipes for a double pie crust call for 1 teaspoon of salt, so next time that's what I'll use in this recipe. But definitely this recipe is a keeper. "

"This turned out pretty good for my first attempt, and I learned after reading some of the other reviews that I didn't brown the chicken long enough so that's why my sauce was a purple-gray color, but I wasn't much bothered by the color and it tasted fine except I could taste the cognac, which I'm sure is because I did not burn it off, but I have never done that before and I was afraid of ruining my new Le Creuset Dutch oven. To anyone who has any advice on that point, thanks in advance..."

"I'm so happy - this was my first-ever perfect pot roast! Recipes I've tried in the past have always been too dry or too tough - I thought I was doomed to being pot-roast challenged. This one turned out perfectly tender and juicy (I'm sure my new Le Creuset Dutch oven also helped). But this recipe is tops because the sauce is so flavorful. The only things I omitted were the garlic, because I don't care for garlic, and the rosemary because I didn't have any. And like another recent post, I turned the roast over when I lowered the temp (not sure if that makes any difference but I didn't want the top to get dry). This recipe is amazing and I am so glad I saw the show recently where she was making it. Now I have conquered pot roast! : "
