Stew - The Perfect Cold-Weather Comfort Food!

Hello Reader

Starting to get desperate for warmer weather? It won't be long now, I promise!

But till then, we must find the strength to keep going, and I'm here to help!

When the temperature drops, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of stew. Rich flavours, tender ingredients, and that slow-cooked goodness. It’s the ultimate way to beat the cold!

I’ve rounded up some of my favourite stew recipes to keep you warm and satisfied this season, or click here for my whole collection:

​Slow Cooker Italian Beef Stew – Slow-simmered with tender beef, carrots, and potatoes. Why not let your slow cooker to the work?

​Easy Chicken Stew – A cozy, budget-friendly dish perfect for chilly night, made with juicy chicken thighs.

​Greek Butter Bean Stew – A meat-free bowl of comfort, packed with flavour. Simple, lean and packed with protein!

​Chicken and Sausage Gumbo – A bold, smoky dish with a kick! Hearty, rustic, and spicy, and overflowing with a variety of ingredients.

​Sweet and Sour Beef Stew Solyanka - A meat lover’s heaven, made with beef, smoked kielbasa sausage, bacon, mushrooms, potatoes and more!

​Classic Beef Bourguignon - A French classic and the epitome of comfort food, with tender beef cooked with wine, perfect over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes.

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!
