I love a good hearty stew on a cold day, warm, comforting packed with nutritious veg and totally satisfying. One of my favourites is Provençal Beef stew cooked in the slow cooker, the smells and flavour from this stew is just heavenly. This is proper home cooking.

If you haven’t tried it yourself, here’s the recipe. Give it ago and savour the experience.
