excellent base but needs spiceApril 27, 2008By ladykam
"Base/standard recipe very nice but we found it a little bland spice wise. I added 7 springs of thyme, lynden flower, rosemary, ground up fresh white pepper with coriander seeds and added it. Gives it a nice kick, to an otherwise very bland base stew"
