Cooking with Karma with Karma Brown

Karma Brown wishes she could say her specialty was beef bourguignon or homemade gnocchi with tomato sauce she canned herself, but instead she is famous (at least in her kitchen) for strawberry crisp and mac & cheese (although both her three-year-old and husband like the boxed version almost as much). She wants to experiment, to go beyond Taco Tuesdays, to master pastry, to cook the perfect roast and to make memorable meals for her family and she will learn to do all that using Chatelaine's recipes.

  • Karma Brown
Slow_cooked_super_saucy_pot_roast-1-l Why I’ve never cooked a roast before I have no idea. It’s so easy, right? It must go back to my lack of confidence around cooking meat, because unlike (most) others, I think overcooked meat is a good thing.
