I have just put a lovely casserole in the oven and it smells fantastic definately one of the compensations of winter

 

It is Delia's beef in designer beer from her winter book with some added carrot and swede which are a must in a beef stew for me.

 

We are not going to eat it until lunchtime tomorrow when my Grandad and Uncle are coming over, don't know if i can wait that long

 

We are having salmon curry this evening and I haven't had curry in ages so was looking forward to this until the nice smells started

 

what are everyone elses favourite winter warmers?

Ooooh, I'm with you on the stew....I love beef stew, but I cook mine in red wine with nice steaming dumplings on top! I have a Rayburn which is on all the time in the depths of winter, on a low setting, so it's great for cooking stews...can't wait!

Stew and dumplings is my all time favourite winter comfort food and we had our first one of the year last night. Steamed syrup sponge is another favourite .

[Egluntyne]

Steamed syrup sponge is another favourite .

I'm really sorry to say this, but, salmon curry There's just something about fish and curry that's just not right for me.

Winter warmers........

 

Mmmm, lamb stewed in tomato and garlic served with mashed potato

 

chicken paprika served with tagliatelle

 

oooh, oooh and a good thick soup (gloop, we call it!) with root veggies and pearl barley

I also love beef bourguignon, lamb shanks cooked slowly. lamb tagine, pork casserole, fish pie, baked potatoes, roast dinners, scouse, moroccan lentils, bread & butter pudding and risotto.

I know what you mean but actually it works really well so long as you don't overcook it.

 

I was very good stew was cooked by 3.35 so out of the oven it came to cool for tomorrow and we had the curry and it was lovely.

 

Tesco have Youngs wild salmon fillets about 7 pieces on offer half price at the moment, all I did was partly defrost them in water then skinned them and cut them into chunks then put them in the sauce for last 5 minutes

I love cooking casseroles & one of the very nicest is a Beef in beer with big flat mushrooms one that I do.

 

Another favourite is Nigellas Greek Lamb Stew,which is absolutely gorgeous..............I am cooking it this weekend in fct,now its officially autumn

 

I generally cook a casserole once a week this time of year,having it either with fluffy herb dumplings or lashing of mash

The beef in beer was every bit as good as it promised to be

 

Clean plates all round and apple crumble and custard for afters, not been able to move since though
