When it comes to hearty family dishes, you can't look much further than a warming stew or casserole. These classics continue to be our go-to comfort food at winter time.
Slow cooked to tender perfection, Julie Goodwin's wonderful lamb shank cacciatore is gorgeous served with creamy mashed potato to create a warming family dinner.
A comforting stew makes the perfect family dinner as the weather starts to cool but if you're not quite ready for heavy meat dishes, these delicious seafood recipes are the solution. With all manner of fish, shellfish and vegetables simmered in light and flavoursome broths, our easy stews and casseroles are the ideal meal come Autumn and Winter. There's everything from a traditional French bouillabaisse to Italian-style stews.
Is it a soup or is it a stew? Somewhere in between, we think. In any event, this Hungarian goulash (gulyás) is hearty, healthy and full of goodness and flavour. Mop up every morsel with fresh, crusty bread.
