DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST
This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

BOHEMIAN POT ROAST
I love this pot roast recipe because it's so easy to prepare and serve. You can put this "meal in one dish" together to cook, then practically forget about it until dinnertime. Coleslaw is a great accompaniment. -Vera Melvin, St. Ann, Missouri

ROASTED PORK & SAUERKRAUT WITH CZECH DUMPLINGS
This is an old recipe handed down from my great-grandmother who came from Czechoslovakia. The dumplings are time consuming but they are worth every minute! I don't think people take the time to cook like our mothers and grandmothers did before us. This recipe to me is a treasure.

CZECH ROAST PORK LOIN (VEPROVA PECENE) RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat the oven to 400 F.
- Trim excess fat from the pork. Save the fat, if desired, to be rendered later and used for frying. Rub salt and pepper, to taste, into the meat. Heat the 3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil in a large skillet.
- When the lard or oil is hot, carefully place the meat in the skillet and brown on all sides.
- Place the browned meat in a roasting pan large enough to accommodate it, but with the not too much extra room (otherwise the juices will evaporate too quickly).
- On the meat, sprinkle 1 tablespoon dried marjoram, 2 tablespoons caraway seeds, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, and 1 cup water. Then lay the onion slices on top of the meat.
- Place in the oven and roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting with pan juices every 15 to 20 minutes, and adding water as necessary. If the meat is browning too fast, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- When the meat is done, remove it to a serving platter. Skim any fat from the surfaces of the pan juices and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve slices of the pork with sliced dumplings covered with pan juices. Don't forget the side of cabbage-red is preferred! Leftover meat slices make terrific sandwiches. Source: I adapted this recipe from one in "The Best of Czech Cooking" by Peter Trnka (Hippocrene Books Inc., 2009).
