I WAS recently cooking Scouse stew for the TV programme, Market kitchen. I was asked to create “my version� and so was another chef from North Wales now working in London, Bryn Williams.
I am sure every reader of The Liverpool Post has got a version which is different, however I can honestly say that this was the audience’s and taster’s favourite. I think it works really well with neck of lamb which happens to be cheap and perfect for Lob-scouse.
