Casseroles must be the ultimate comfort food. Slow cooking brings out the richest of flavours, tenderising even cheaper cuts of meat, whilst simple vegetables can be transformed into a glorious feast. We've selected over 60 recipes - each one triple-tested to ensure success every time - so you can make succulent stews and casseroles any night of the week. Try a traditional hotpot with slow-cooked vegetables; or go East and discover new tastes with chicken of fish casseroles that work so well with rice or creamy polenta. Add new ideas for seasoning to your repertoire: sweet paprika for colour and aroma, lemongrass for an Asian twist, or add warmth with a hint of chilli. Our special features include tips on preparing ahead, and recipes you can freeze, plus suggestions for the perfect side dish: parsnip mash, balsamic roast potatoes, couscous, wild rice and more.
