"This heavy healthy vegetable stew is from an old family recipe. Served alone or as a side dish, it can be made in advance, as the taste develops as it rests. This substantial meal is easy to make and tastes great! Enjoy."

This was average. I probably won't make it again. I see your daughter loves her mum's cooking though Gingerbee!

This is the basic recipe my mother-in-law uses and calls it "Jumbot". She would use fresh tomatoes instead, and anything else she had on hand, any and all vegies left over.I used to turn my nose up at it all the time, and then I finally tried it, now I ask her to make it for me. Wonderful blend of seasonings, such a nice, simple, fairly healthy one dish dinner. I don't recall using the eggs though, and it was still dinner with a fork!! Something special added would be hot sausage, browned and added to the pot!! Mmm Mmm Mmm!!!!!

I'm a "newbee" to this site, but not to cooking. I love great food and to share recipes and this site is great! I don't know where the information of a "fry cook" came from, but I would consider myself anything else but that :) A NYC girl originally, lived in London and Canada where I am now. Met lots of interesting people along life's way who taught me a great deal and enriched my life with their knowledge of cooking. With my children now adults, the family has doubled in size and my commitment to making memories to pass down to another generation inspires me to cooking. I find cooking a creative expression of one's personality and never tire of new challenges in the kitchen.
