A Beef Stew For The Modern Eater

Published January 22, 2021

Spoiler alert: It’s mostly vegetables.

Before I get to today’s recipe, I wanted to let you know that I won’t be sending out any newsletters next week. Nothing bad or sad is happening; in fact, quite the opposite. I’ve got something really exciting in the works, and I have to spend the rest of this month working my you-know-what off to get it ready for all of you. I can’t say what it is yet, only that I’ll be back here on February 1st with a big announcement that explains everything. Thanks so much for understanding, and stay tuned. Now, on to today’s newsletter…

Our team spent weeks — years, really — developing “less-meatarian” recipes, classics that de-emphasize meat and rely preeminently on vegetables, grains, and legumes. Both the Food Matters and VB6 cookbooks feature those kinds of recipes, and the style has mightily influenced our cooking for more than 10 years now.
