Stews are one of those dishes that will never stir up excitement. There's nothing glamorous about them; no way to make them feel fancy. But despite stew's failure to shine, we still crave a bowl.
There's nothing more comforting on a cold, winter day than a big, deep, steamy bowl of hearty stew. It's basically the food equivalent of sitting near a roaring fire while tucked under a cozy blanket wearing wool socks.
