David is loving this Roasted Beets with Goat Cheese and Garlic Pearl Couscous recipe from Chef Adrianne’s newest cookbook, The A List. He’s always been a huge fans of beets. So much so that when he was traveling to London nearly every week, he made it a point to shop at Waitrose or Sainsbury’s for his favorite “beet roots.” Our pantry was always stocked until airport security imposed restrictions that prevented him from taking them out of the UK.
