Thank you so much. My late husband made the most remarkable Ox-tail stew and for the last 11 years I have been looking for that magic recipe. Yours did it. It was like going back to a wonderful time in my life. The oxtails are a bit difficult to handle. That's what makes it fun. The flavours are remarkable, without added seasoning and the soup (which I make the next day is to die for.)

I really liked this recipe, which originally i was looking for an Australian Womans Weekly ox tail stew or something like that over the internet. Then after cooking this one i found it, that uses bay leaves and mustard powder which i added after towards the last half an hour to cook. It turned out rather yummy, many thanks for the recipe.

I wanted to make a different type of oxtail stew than my mom and I definitely found one that is just as good! I would definitely make this again! I'll probably add more vegetables and oxtails the next time. I added all of the tomato paste and it was pretty good that way. The broth was very flavorful!!!

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
