    I am 84 years old and lost my husband so I don’t cook anymore. After watching Rachel’s video on the beef stew I just had to try it. I was fixing for seven people so I had to add more beef broth and a few more vegetables. It didn’t come out as thick as Rachel‘s but I added some cornstarch, mixed with water, and it helped a lot. Just a note for those who are going to try this. Make sure your potatoes are not too small or they will get mushy. It was a big hit and I have leftovers to enjoy the next day. I watch her every day just for the enjoyment of watching her cook, and how she enjoys it. I also fixed corn bread to go with it, and it was a hit.

      I’m 48 and lost my husband of 20 yrs, four years ago. My sympathy goes out for your loss❤ I wish no one had to go through it.😢I loved making his meals from scratch and lots of Love. I would always place his food on his plate like a fancy over the top restaurant. Mile high shredded cheese, assortment of sauces, the parsely on the side of your plate with the beet slice.😂 😊He loved his desserts. He would look over at me or he say from another room “ I want sumpin” in a cute coy little voice. I miss that so, so much! He was always appreciative and would tell everyone about it. I just started watching her and it has sparked my love for cooking as well😊

    I have gone to many other cooking sites with other cooks, BUT when I “discovered you” I was “ hooked!!”Your step by step teaching techniques are right on point! You dont get “cutsie” or “Joke around” to hold our attention, You speak and from teach from the heart! And you verbalize such respect for your family, especially “My Ron” !Love when you causally mention anout how the weather is at the moment, your plans of going to Texas etc. you dont overdo it..And when you taste your food, the expressions you make! That lil “Rachel dance”when you really love the taste, OMG! Love it, you make me smile, Wish you were my neighbor to have coffee with you and just “Chat!”I live in N. Azusa, Ca. Don’t ever change your Style! Con Mucho Amor! MsCam

      Hi Rachael. I am so thrilled to have found you & my best friend in Vt. agrees. I forward most of your recipes to her. We are in our 80’s, good cooks as well, & always eager to try new recipes. Just love your chicken salad with the grapes etc & made it several weeks ago for a non-cook friend who thought she died & went to Heaven. Keep sending them with your 💓. Lorrie T

There aren't any boxes of food or pre done items in my kitchen. My husband is a little bit hard to feed. This, I'm sure will hit the spot. Thank you.

    Hi, Rachel! I made your Old Fashioned Beef Stew yesterday. I usually make beef stew in my pressure cooker, but I will have to say that cooking it slowly was worth the wait! It was "over the top" delicious! I love watching your videos and plan to make some more of your dishes! I am a retired teacher and you do such a great job demonstrating your recipes and explaining "why" you do things a certain way! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your beautiful talent to instruct and teach. I am so happy that I found you! It has been my pleasure to watch your videos and so much fun to try your recipes! I regularly make both your salsas, and they have become staples in my refrigerator! Thank you!

    I just tried this recipe tonight! My husband has been saying it’s the best stew he ever had anywhere and had two servings. I didn’t have bacon grease so used butter instead and used 3/4 cup red wine plus 5 cups of the broth instead of the broth alone. It was to die for and the meat was fall apart tender. All I can say is wow! The best ever! Thank you, Rachel!

    Rachel I just love the way you cook. I’ve been a good home cook for around 40 years, but for the past 20 or so, due to my busy lifestyle, I’ve been using shortcuts, readymade ingredients and packet mixes. I seem to have lost my mojo. No more! I’m retired now with lots of time and your recipes take me right back to the beginning, when I made everything from scratch, with passion. You use tried and tested methods, combined with years of experience. And that special ingredient - cooking with love. Thanks so much for inspiring me again Rachel. I’m hooked on your channel and am remembering how nice it is to cook from scratch. I started by watching your cabbage rolls, but it’s now midnight and I’ve watched five more videos lol. I’m obsessed. You have a wonderful style of presenting and clearly a genuine love of good food. You’ve made another fan and I’ll be watching everything you post. I’ve been watching UA-cam videos for years, but have never felt the need to comment before now. Keep up the good work 💖

She loved cooking and providing us with her home cooked meals, whether it's this, meatloaf, ham hocks and beans or whatever was on her menu. Awesome video. Now it's time to go and get the ingredients for this beef stew which I haven't had in years.

    I am French and used to cook a lot, not so much after I lost my husband. I watched so many shows from a lot of great chefs, but I think Rachel beats them all. I appreciate all the flavors she adds to her food and her methods. Her French onion soup method is the best in my book. She sure loves food and it shows👏💕

The way you cook, using good old fashion homemade from scratch techniques is the way my mom and grandma Lizzie taught me how to cook. Using herbs and flavor full spices is what really gives the food such delicious taste. Your style of cooking comes from the heart. I love to cook, and when my children were little I cooked from my heart, just like my mom and grandma♥️ Thank you for sharing your love of cooking with all of your subscribers😊

    Hi, Rachel! My husband and I both love Mexican food, but we live in a smaller city in Northern Ontario. The only Mexican restaurant we have here is Taco Bell, so we have nothing authentic. I have been looking for a Mexican cooking channel, and yours popped up. This beef stew recipe showed up first, so I tried it. It is the most amazing beef stew I have ever made! My husband loved it. I knew immediately that you know how to cook! I just love your gentle and calm manor, and you explain each step. The next thing I am going to try is the Jalepeno Popper Quiche. You make it all look so simple and easy! I sometimes just watch your channel for the calming affect you have. I look forward to more great recipes, and I will let you know how each one goes for me!

I'll definitely make it this weekend. It's mother's day this Sunday so I know my daughter will appreciate it! Thank you Rachel! Oh, I love seeing the enjoyment you get when tasting the food!

    Whenever I want to make a dish right, I turn to you, Rachel. True down-home cooking. I seared the beef yesterday and I'm going to follow your recipe for the remainder today. Will post how it came out. Thank you!!

    I have your old fashioned beef stew simmering away here in southeast Louisiana. In the past, I have only used the “beef stew packets” to make it. This is smelling delicious. We will be eating it over rice. I love your videos. You take the time to show and explain everything. I made your chicken salad last week and had some friends over. We all loved it. You are very much appreciated!

    I watched several videos on this because I was interested in learning how to do this. I really like how you use the veggies at the middle and end of your recipe. Interesting. I didn't see the other channels doing this. I prefer this method although I will probably add wine to mine as well. I like how you cooked the beef as well with the flour.

    Oh Rachel, your Beef Stew is just like my Dear late Mum cooked In Scotland. It takes me back all those yrs. (She was a Farmers wife, we had a Dairy & Beef Farm + cropping.) She kindly taught me to cook too. On top of her Stews she also made Dumplings which were yummy.
    I must tell you this Tip “ Mum cooked her potatoes separately, after draining she put Some butter in + a spoonful of Oatmeal + Parsley and gave the pot a good shake. ( please try it sometime 🤫)
    “ My sister & I loved to Scrape the Bottom of the Potato Pot twas just Yummy in our Tummies”
    “ Mum also made Scottish Clootie Dumpling, for our Birthdays & Black Bun for New Year + Shortbread + Was a Super Baker of Cakes & Scones 👏👏
    I just so love to watch your Cooking too, as does the rest of the World 😋😋 👏👏👏

    Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and taking the time to show us each step! This is so close to the beef stew that I make. But now that it's just my Mom and me I can't cook the things that I love. She doesn't eat onions, celery and much more. But I am definitely going to make this with a pot of rice very soon. 😃 Thank you again and God bless you!🙏🍽❤💥

    Rachel, I leave my spices whole while its cooking and it's easy to remove just before you serve it. The stems are a little heartier in earthy flavor! As for the baby potatos, I add them very last so they don't get mushy. In recent years I've been adding chunks of egg plant at the end a few minutes after the potatoes. It adds a creamy lush flavor. I can't believe how heavenly it is in beef stew!

    WOW... What can i say!? I was sitting at home with my partner, talking about how our parents used to cook nice food like stew's etc. Then i thought of the stews my mother used to make when i was growing up! And decided to search for videos on how to make a beef stew since my mother has passed away and found this one! i could not believe how you and my mother cooked the stew almost the same! My mother never used mushrooms that was the only thing and i never watched her cook it or prepare it, so that's why i started looking for the stew videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!! Now i can finally cook a beef stew of my own and surprise my wife and kids with it! When i do decide to cook it during our Australian winter, i will let you know how i all turned out! My mind is still blown... Fingers crossed i don't burn it!... Appreciate what you have taught me Rachel through this video!!! (Tommy Kruse, Sydney, Australia)

    I just had to comment, this is exactly, down to the last detail, the way my Mom taught me to make stew when I was a girl in the 60's. I'm 73 now and still make it, never changing a thing.
    I was going to let you know that the very last thing I do is add about a cup of frozen peas, and unbelievably, there was a bowl of peas, I just had to smile.
    Thank you so much for the walk down memory lane with my Mom.
    P.S. if you don't have Lea&Perrens, we used soya sauce.
