The smell of this pork roast cooking is fabulous. It starts in the first 10 minutes and gets better and better! The flavor of the herb crust with the roast pork is fabulous. I used about twice the amount of parsley and a small dribble of olive oil with it and the garlic and spices. The meld of the flavors is wonderful and the pork moist and tender. I cooked it longer because I have this thing against pink or undercooked pork. Succulent and delicious barely describes it! I will definitely be making this again, my husband who really loved this is planning it already!

FIRST RATE DINNER! Followed the directions exactly, the aroma was mouth watering in just a short time of being in the oven, the meat was moist and succulent, even my son liked this (but as always with a qualifier-a little to much herb crust) darling child just can't say anything is really good so long as I've cooked it. Sixteen going on Seventeen needs to be sent to a deserted island.LOL
