  1. I love a good stew and usually just make it up as I go! This was really yummy – I added zucchini, celery and peas. I didn’t do the dumplings as my son cannot eat wheat, so served with crusty bread instead. My 2yo went back for a third bowl. Will definitely keep this on the regular list over winter.

  2. Oh my goodness, this bought back memories of my childhood. My mum used to make poor man’s stew with dumplings at least once a week and I loved it. Can’t wait to give this one a go for my kids
