Crockpot African Lamb & Peanut Stew

creamy, nutty, good

Peanuts aren’t actually nuts, they’re legumes. So if you’re avoiding legumes for any reason I’d suggest using sunflower seed butter.

Smoky Slow Cooker Gumbo

so rich, so good

After much discussion in our house, we decided to make this a chicken and sausage gumbo rather than a fishy gumbo.

Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Soup

fungus soup…delicious

Moving into the new year, I like to think my belly is a wiser, more mature and less selfish belly.

Crockpot Chicken & Bacon Chowder

It’s very rich, but keeps well

So yesterday the crockpot tried to kill me.

Italian Mussel Stew

I didn’t sneeze on it, that’s a fresh herb sauce on top

Most horrifying discovery of my weekend?

Grilled Bratwurst & Cheddar Soup

add beer if you like obvs

Lovely reader Rosie, who shares my affinity for all things cheesy, sent me this link last week: 21 Life Changing Things To Do With Cheddar Cheese.

Tarka Dal

I like to go heavy with the cilantro

Tarka Dal is an indian-spiced pea soup. It’s cheap, easy and very nourishing so basically Indian comfort food at its finest.

Irish Stew

wholesome!

It seems odd that I haven’t posted an Irish Stew recipe yet. When I was little it was in Mum’s weekly meal rotation and one of the few things I ate without complaining.

Moroccan Beef & Fig Stew

like chili, but better

My family and I visited Morocco when I was very young and, to be honest, the only things I remember clearly about that trip are the overwhelming heat and the dizzying colours and smells of the twisted cobbled streets leading to the crowded souks.

Mixed Seafood Chowder

I love soup bowls that double as mugs. One of life’s little pleasures

There’s been a lot of debate lately about the safety of fish (I’ve even been guilty of a bit of fear-mongering myself) what with Fukushima still pumping radiation into the Pacific ocean at an alarming rate.
