I make stews and casseroles pretty much year round. Mainly because it's easy to make a load of it in one go and in one pan. Limits the washing up and you can eat for 3 days off it and still freeze some.
And up here it's still pretty chilly in the summer so a nice hearty warming bowl of stew is usually very welcome
Plus it's proper comfort food if done well.
I normally do from about Nov to March Kev, but not during the spring, summer or early autumn. Perhaps thats what makes the first stew of the winter taste so good?
