Product Description
A look at mouthwatering one-pot cooking from around the world Full of meals that are slow to cook but require the minimum of preparation, these delicious concoctions are all relatively inexpensive to make while staying intense and aromatic in flavor. "Stew!" visits all four corners of the world, from Lancashire Hotpot to the tasty tagines of Morocco, and from gorgeous Hungarian goulash to classic Indian curries. The fact that stews are so easy to prepare makes them ideal for midweek dinners or special occasions, and the sophistication of dishes such as Pork with Prunes, Cream and Marsala, or Venison and Chestnut Casserole belies their simplicity. From classic stews that have been enjoyed for generations and are likely to elicit sighs of nostalgia, to a feast of inspiring new ideas that are set to become firm favorites, this collection is packed with 100 irresistible recipes for every occasion.

This is a great selection of stews from all over the world offering a great variety to cater for all tastes although only about 15% are vegetarian, which might make the appeal more limited for those of us who are not omnivores.
The recipes -all savoury- are classified into chapters called: Traditional and hearty, Meals in a bowl, Stews to impress, Fragrant and Aromatic and finally Fresh and Vibrant, the index at the end lists them from key ingredients, which makes it fairly easy to navigate through although an additional listing of the recipes to be found in each chapter would have been a welcome addition.
The photos are very appetising, the recipes are clearly explained, easy to follow and produce great results (even though the Beef Carbonnade lacks the "secret" ingredient which makes all the difference ;-).
I have been really impressed by Genevieve Taylor's take on both British and international dishes and the sheer variety she offers in this book, here is a taster of recipes we have tried and enjoyed: Sri Lankan fish curry with coconut sambal, Prawns and red peppers with almond and garlic sauce, Lamb with white beans and coriander, Persian chicken with walnuts and pomegranates, Pork belly braised with satsumas and medieval spices, Greek chicken and pasta stew to name but a few...
If you love stews this will be a great addition to your cookbook collection. Anthony Worrall Thompson's Slow Cooking is another one worth checking out, I bought both within a few days (^^) and I am glad to say they complement each other very nicely.

A really practical and trusty guide to all things stew-able.
Pragmatic approach to cooking comes through in delicious ideas and (for me anyway) results - with ideas for combinations of flavours that are genius - who said stews had seasonal limitation!
Buy it and enjoy it for happy eating.

An excellent cook book with mouthwatering recipes and so easy to follow. I particularly enjoyed the zingy and zest caribbean beef stew with ginger and lime. It was delicious and different. There is a recipe in there to suit everyone from kids to adults with more exotic taste buds. Can't wait to try more meaty recipes out and also some great ideas adaptable for my vegan in-laws. A definite food 'bible' for my cook book collection.
