Soups, Stews & Grains

Many a night, there is nothing better to put on the table than a big bowl of something warm and comforting. The recipes in this chapter all fill that urge for me. Like many cooks, I have a love affair with meat- and bone-based broths, and I use them broadly in my cooking. I firmly believe in the health benefits of well-crafted bone broths. But more important, their flavor satisfies the soul; giving comfort on all levels, even if just served simply by themselves. Stocks and broths are versatile staples to have in the kitchen.
