Add beer or wine as the liquid component of this stew or add allspice to create a warm flavor, especially for winter nights... This recipe is my mum's adaptation of the stew and I hope it will grace dinner tables across the world with its simplicity and comfort. My mum is the most house-proud person I know. She still teaches me how the home needs to be a safe haven. A place to truly rest and prepare for life as it happens. Little does she realize that she is home. This one is for good and bad days, for lonely and overwhelming days. It presses the restart button on life, as all soulful things do. This recipe goes out to the amazing women - my mums, my sisters, and friends - who make their homes piece by piece with all their hearts..."
