Stews are colorful, flavorful, they can take you anywhere – from France to India, Brazil to Japan, or evoke the nostalgic scents of the kitchen you grew up in. But stews aren’t celebrated enough.

In over 100 recipes from around the world, discover how the oldest cooking method (in one large pot over a heat source) can be the most joyful way to nourish family and friends. From classic French beef bourguignon to Portuguese feijoada, Caribbean Sancocho to Swedish Fiskgryta, this is a truly global exploration of one-pot cooking that allows home cooks to travel from their very own kitchen table.

Organized by main ingredient (from Beans to Vegetables and Beef to Seafood), you’ll find everyday dishes where familiar and affordable ingredients are transformed on the stovetop, weekend favorites containing recipes with a few extra ingredients and requiring a bit more mindful preparation, and a stew celebration with more festive dishes for when you want to explore exciting new ingredients or perhaps more premium cuts of meat.

Xav’s expert guidance will help you understand how each dish can nourish your body and feed your soul. There’s a stew for every mood and every day of the week. All of them are easy to make with no special techniques needed.
