There's nothing like a steaming bowl of hearty, nourishing stew when the wind is howling and the rain is falling outside, and these delicious stew recipes are so gorgeous, you'll be wishing for cooler weather just for an excuse to simmer up a pot. For the vegies, you've got to try the Moroccan chickpea stew, and for the carnivores? You can't go past the slow-cooker beef, mushroom and red wine stew. Now all that's left to do is pop your slippers on and curl up in front of a fire. Bliss.
