  • I made this last night for tea and it was delicious. To make it even better I had the carrots, turnips, thyme and onions growing in my garden. And my neighbour down the road had given me a topside roast a few weeks ago for giving him a crate of tomatoes that I had left over from the summer harvest. All up this was a delicious meal that I was able to make for very little $$$, and most of the ingredients came from the farm.

    Food from my childhood, my mum used to make a beautiful dumpling stew, thanks John for bringing it all back to me.
  • @Chris-lz1fs
    Looks lovely! There's nothing like good old fashioned, down to earth, traditional meals.
  • Omg just like my Mum's about 60yrs ago. Yummy. Love this man's British traditional cooking legend ❤😊

    You sound like Winnie the Pooh, and I absolutely love it 😍

    Hello John I just wanted to say how much I love your videos,I have terminal cancer and I find your voice so soothing.After I put my baby in his cot I binge watch your videos.Although I can not eat solid food anymore I watch your recipes with a drooling mouth.Sending you love and thanks and wishing you the happiest Christmas possible.
  • I think I'm in love with this man. This is my style. Cozy food is the best food in cold climate.
  • I made this recipe for supper tonight. I'm recovering from a weeks-long illness in which I could not eat much. Today was the first day I could take normal amounts of solid foods. I can't tell you how good this was for me, how great it was to taste comfort food again! --the combination of ingredients blends superbly during oven baking. This was my first time making crispy dumplings... and they came out well...so I want to thank you very much for this stew-pendous dish! 👏👏👏🏞💥💥💥
  • @hotdogs4dessert
    I like your videos because it sounds like Winnie the Pooh is narrating cooking videos...
  • Yummy. I think the best beef dishes come from the UK. Thanks so much for sharing.
  • @johnboytd
    This looks absolutely gorgeous! I must have been a kid when I last had dumplings! I'm 58 now!! Keep up your tasty recipes!!
  • @stevelee2787
    The last time I saw something as yummy was my mums 45 year ago bless her well done
  • Just had dumplings in a stew following your dumpling recipe, just had to comment to say how fantastic they were. Easy to follow instructions and the recipe was perfect. My better half's first comment on tasting one of the dumplings was "Oh my God!!!". Yes they were that good. Thank you and please keep posting.

    Hallo from Sri Lanka, Just made this and had it for dinner! .. The best dumpling recipe ever, melt in your mouth texture.. We re in lockdown and I didnt have leeks or turnips so substituted potato .. Thank you so much..
  • I made this in the slow cooker and it literally brought tears to my eyes. I don't know if anyone else has tried something that tastes so good and wholesome that it kind of makes you emotional for a moment.
  • I'm 54, and my mum used to make this for us when we were kids. I'm sure she won't mind me saying yours looked just as good as hers. She's not with us anymore, but this brought back such happy memories. Thank you.

    I'm from the southern USA. I've made similar beef stew many times but served it with cornbread. I'm intrigued by the crispy dumplings and will try that next stew I make. Thanks for explaining it so well, especially with the measurements. We use pounds, ounces, cups, and teaspoons.
  • @dinglebat63
    My daughters all come for tea every Wednesday night. Guess what we'll be having next week. Looks delightful.
  • @heyheyEllKay
    That is such a beautiful dish John and thank you again. Here I am seeing this video six years after you’ve posted it! I hope to open a B&B in the near future, and I’ll be excited to tell people where I got the recipe.
  • You are without doubt a National Treasure John. I dont even bother looking at cook books now I've found you. Gave all my Delia books to the charity shop along with Jamie whatshisname who went bust ? You knock spots off every last one.
