Braises and Stews: Everyday Slow-Cooked Recipes

by Tori Ritchie, Ben Fink (Photographer)

Remember those tantalizing smells coming from Grandma's kitchen as she made her treasured, slow-cooked meals? Braises and Stews brings modern convenience and style to good old-fashioned comfort food. Organized by mainingredient, this handy cookbook dishes up the secrets for making such savory one-pot meals as Classic Pot Roast or Pub Short Ribs. Lighter fare like Coq au Vin prepared with white wine or a Roman-inspired Spring Stew of Favas, Artichokes, and Fresh Peas will appeal to those with smaller appetites. Why stew over dinner when there are so many tasty options to throw in the pot?

This cookbook is filled with recipes that are hearty, easy to make, and filled with which flavors. I especially like the recipe for Beef stew with caramelized onions and red wine. The recipes in this book can be used all year long. However, I suspect I’ll appreciate them even more when winter comes around.

This is an excellent cookbook for weeknight meals and 6 hour Sunday-dinner cooking marathons. I've given it several times as a gift this christmas, and use it at least once a week. There's great variety here; some timeworn classics like beef brisket and new dishes to try.

This book screams Sunday family dinner. Winter cozy meals to eat with your loved ones. Meals cooked with love over a long period of time. It's an investment. No shortcuts here.
