Roast dinners evolved from medieval feasts, initially being whole roasted animals. Sunday roast became common in England during the reign of King Henry VII in 1485. Servants would place a cut of meat in the oven before going to church, to be ready when they returned. Industrial revolution and the increased availability of ovens made Sunday Roast more accessible.

The Roast of the Day offers a wide range of savory and umami flavors, often complemented by sweet and tangy elements.
The primary flavor profile depends heavily on the choice of meat. Beef roasts offer rich, deep, and savory tastes. Pork roasts provide a slightly sweeter, more delicate flavor. Chicken or turkey roasts deliver a lighter, more subtle taste. Gravy made from the meat's drippings adds a concentrated umami richness. Roasted vegetables contribute sweetness, earthiness, and a variety of textures. Yorkshire puddings bring a savory, eggy flavor and a light, airy texture. Stuffing (when present) introduces herbaceous and often savory notes.

Meat Selection
Choose high-quality cuts of meat appropriate for roasting, considering fat content and tenderness. Marbling is essential for flavor and moisture.
Proper Resting
Allow the roast to rest for at least 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
Gravy Perfection
Use the drippings from the roast to create a rich and flavorful gravy. Thicken with flour or cornstarch, and season to taste.
Vegetable Variety
Select a variety of seasonal vegetables to roast alongside the meat, adding color, texture, and nutritional value.
Yorkshire Puddings
Yorkshire puddings require very hot oil and a piping hot oven to rise properly. Don't open the oven door during baking.
