Omg! He totally does. THAT'S why he's so soothing...mmmmm 😊❤
That’s amazing 😂😂. I can’t watch the video now though.
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahhahahaha. Oh brother!
I made this last night for tea and it was delicious. To make it even better I had the carrots, turnips, thyme and onions growing in my garden. And my neighbour down the road had given me a topside roast a few weeks ago for giving him a crate of tomatoes that I had left over from the summer harvest. All up this was a delicious meal that I was able to make for very little $$$, and most of the ingredients came from the farm.
I made this recipe for supper tonight. I'm recovering from a weeks-long illness in which I could not eat much. Today was the first day I could take normal amounts of solid foods. I can't tell you how good this was for me, how great it was to taste comfort food again! --the combination of ingredients blends superbly during oven baking. This was my first time making crispy dumplings... and they came out well...so I want to thank you very much for this stew-pendous dish! 👏👏👏🏞💥💥💥

Just had dumplings in a stew following your dumpling recipe, just had to comment to say how fantastic they were. Easy to follow instructions and the recipe was perfect. My better half's first comment on tasting one of the dumplings was "Oh my God!!!". Yes they were that good. Thank you and please keep posting.

Absolutely 😂..i made some 2 days ago..like marbles x..my mum always made hers big and fluffy..yum..❤X
I'm from the southern USA. I've made similar beef stew many times but served it with cornbread. I'm intrigued by the crispy dumplings and will try that next stew I make. Thanks for explaining it so well, especially with the measurements. We use pounds, ounces, cups, and teaspoons.
Thanks for watching Fide Logos, much appreciated. Digital scales are the way to go, cups, measuring jugs, tsp etc, vary too much across the planet, even ounces can vary, but one thing for certain is, my gram is exactly the same as your gram, wherever you live on the plant, so if you can, use the gram unit on your scales, even for the liquids.

Ironically, the Brits started the whole "Imperial" set of measurements, and now only the USA maintains the use of them and refuses to switch to metric like the rest of the planet. (Well, except Australia. Fun fact: Did you know that an Australian "tablespoon" is bigger than a North American tablespoon? An Australian tablespoon is equivalent to 20mL in metric, whereas a North American tablespoon equals only 15mL. Go figure!)
@@HRHDMKYT I'm American and I only use metric. And no, I'm not a drug dealer or pharmacist LOL. Not all of us are Luddites.
I love this. After near death illness ive gone back to what i rememer from my 2 grandmothers and some from grandpa who was 104 when died. Im 48 years old. The old recipes made me healthy. Doc in hospital said its a miracle. There you go.

Hallo from Sri Lanka, Just made this and had it for dinner! .. The best dumpling recipe ever, melt in your mouth texture.. We re in lockdown and I didnt have leeks or turnips so substituted potato .. Thank you so much..
Most welcome my friend.
You are without doubt a National Treasure John. I dont even bother looking at cook books now I've found you. Gave all my Delia books to the charity shop along with Jamie whatshisname who went bust ? You knock spots off every last one.
Haha, Thanks again Anne :o)
I agree with you so much Anne !
I'm 54, and my mum used to make this for us when we were kids. I'm sure she won't mind me saying yours looked just as good as hers. She's not with us anymore, but this brought back such happy memories. Thank you.
Well I'm very pleased it's brought back some great memories my friend. Thanks again for watching. 😃❤
I made this in the slow cooker and it literally brought tears to my eyes.
I don't know if anyone else has tried something that tastes so good and wholesome that it kind of makes you emotional for a moment.

Thanks John , every time I make dumplings , I form them into a ball in my hand which of course Compacts the dumplings . No wonder they turn out hard . Your method is so much better . I have been making dumplings the Wrong way for 65 yrs. Well they do say you are never too old to learn . One question John, I like to add some Strong Chedder to the dumplings should I reduce the Suet and fats if I use cheese .
That sounds delicious Greg. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest cake video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Orange Cake profoodhomemade.com/orange-cake/
I like your videos because it sounds like Winnie the Pooh is narrating cooking videos...
This is the best beef and dumpling stew I've seen so far.
Thanks again Alma.
Made this a couple of days ago following the recipe to the letter. It was phenomenally good - thank you. The fact that people are coming here 4 years after the video was posted says a lot!
Glad you liked it David. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe Fruit Scones. th-cam.com/video/djJmpchr4tA/w-d-xo.html
Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Fruit Scones. profoodhomemade.com/fruit-scones/
My late Mum had a trick for biscuits, dumplings and scones: She mixed up the flour, salt, baking powder, a touch baking soda then cut in the lard, then would freeze it for later use. At need she would measure a cup of the frozen mixture and add 1/3 cup plus 1 Tbsp of milk. You can then shape biscuits or dumplings out of this mixture. For scones, she added a few tablespoons of plain white sugar to the frozen mixture and a few raisins with the milk. All 3 of these worked out wonderfully, and i use them to this day. Shredded cheddar, herbs or minced onion can be added to fancy up the biscuits/dumplings a bit.
Great tip Wilf, thanks. 👍😁
It's in the oven!!!!! Greetings from British West Hartlepool

Your vegetables are beautiful, the leeks add good aromatic flavor. Swedish turnip underutilized in America. " Crispy" dumpling with texture so much better. Might go with a Guinness, in homage to Honourable Desmond. This is a superior beef stew recipe.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Making this again for our St. Patrick's day dinner. I have a hard time finding suet, so I've substituted vegetable shortening in place of it and they still turn out great. I also use potatoes instead of the turnip. This is hands down the best beef stew I've ever made!
Thank you for such a clear method for cooking crispy dumplings. I just realised I was using plain flour and suet so of course they didn't rise :) I will follow your recipe and add baking powder and an egg. Many thanks Linda
Hope you enjoy Linda. It's always a favourite in our house. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website,

I love that you don't poke fun of us Americans about not using the metric system. You just state both types of measurement and go on. Lovely job. Thank you for that.
Thanks again for watching Misty my friend.
Firstly. Sorry I’m new to johns channel. So bit behind with my comments. We made this today and top man John. Best stew I’ve ever had with dumplings for years so easy to follow. And no complaints when served up only wow. This is amazing. Thank you John another gem we have tried and they just keep getting better and better. Thank you my freind. You are a hero. God bless you sir. 😍😍👍👍👍👍👍

Oh my John, I am definitely going to try this........My mum was from North Shields, (she moved to Canada as a war bride.) I grew up with stick to your ribs British grub. I can make some of my mums dishes but they are no where near as good as hers, how I miss her cooking
When I first heard your voice I couldn't believe how much you sound like my uncle.
Thank you for all the good recipes.......Delcie
We take our motorhome to South Shields most weekends. 😃👍😉
Made this for New Year's Eve for 10 people....had to spilt into 2 pots (large and medium). It went down a storm, and my first time making dumplings too. I added small shallots and a couple of teaspoons of Dijon mustard and a big splash of balsamic vinegar to the stew. I also used your tip, and bought a 1.7kg silverside joint, much cheaper than several smaller packets of pre-diced steak. I served with baked potatoes (in foil, then opened for the last 30 mins to brown), red cabbage (with onion, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves with muscovado sugar, and red wine vinegar) and green beans and mange toute. Easily served 10 with enough left to feed another 4 (I made 12 dumplings). Thanks for making the video....if I could post a photo, you’d see my results!

hey john. i just have to say i made this a few weeks ago and it was astonishing how well it turned out, especially for a first go. did it again this week and it turned out great again. have never found so many recepies that work so well, so easily. took me a few goes to get the baguettes right, but now i have then turning out well. the pork pies are another recipe which turned out oh so well first try with my meagre cooking skills. thankyou for explaing everything so clearly. my great grandparents emigrated from northern england/south scotland in the 30's, so it's good to finally be eating some of the recepies from my heritage, i do have some of my great grannys diary and she does mention things like pork pies, gravy and stews about 800 times. the family has been down under for almost 100 years, and with the modern age and its emphasis on fast food, dieting and artificial produce, i feel like that without people like you handing these down, they will eventually be lost to time. even suet isn't all that common around these parts, but i did find some. there are 500 diet cheese options though... thanks again.

John hi, Your beef stew was outstanding on Sunday. My In-laws were amazed. I plated them up in extra large Yorkshire puddings for fun. And the crispy leek dumplings were enormous and tasted fab. All your tips and experience was much appreciated. I even wet-stone sharpened my knives! I slow-cooked in my Sage electric sow cooker for 4-5 hrs. Then I thickened the gravy with the corn flour, finished the dumplings in a hot oven for 30 mins. That tip of putting the dumplings spoon in the hot gravy was brill.
Cheers 👍

John, you are fast becoming a national treasure.
Why thank you Nicholas, don't know about a national treasure but I do enjoy sharing the recopies we've built up over the years of working in our commercial kitchens, gives me something to do in my retirement, and keeps me off the streets :)
Cooking this tomorrow. Picked up a couple of packs of yellow sticker braisng steak for pennies. Such a wise man with a mountain of old school cooking knowledge. Just like me Mam used to make in Northumberland.
Hope you enjoy it KW. Thanks for watching my friend ❤️ much appreciated.
John, my wife just made this and the only complaint is that she didn’t make 50pounds of it!!!! We are great fans of you and thanks for sharing your skills and wisdom.

Thanks ever so much for this John! When I was a small girl, my Dad and I lived with a wonderful English couple here in Canada. I remember fondly so many of her English recipes, especially dumplings! She used to make chicken and dumplings on a regular basis and I would gobble them up until I almost burst. Such a joy to see them recreated here. I'm going to search your recipes for chicken and soft dumplings...that's what she used to make. Thanks again!

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade I'll try to! :)
I've watched this video several times and made this stew many times sometimes with the stout and sometimes without. After all this time, and all the fantastic videos of yours that I watched, this is still may favorite. I don't know if it's the calming chef narrating the video or the comforting stew itself, but of all the beef stew videos out there, this is simply the best one. This stew is perfect on a cold chilly day. Thank you again John! Keep them coming.
Fantastic Kimberly! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
Tea total!?! Well brother, I would welcome you with one of the best cups a tea you've ever had in your life, while I enjoyed your stew with the other five Newcastles you've got there mate! And we'd both be happy! Beautiful country recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!
My pleasure Gern.
Absolutely delicious! Followed John’s instructions to the T. For anyone who’s interested I used Doon Bar (Cornish) beer which worked brilliantly. Cooked the stew yesterday and the dumplings today. Dumplings crispy on top, but light and fluffy in the middle. John, love the way you present your videos, straight forward, simple and no faffing about with inane and irrelevant chit-chatty preambles like some internet chefs who insist on giving us their life stories before getting into the recipe! Thank you 👍🏻😃
Very kind Stella, thanks for watching my friend.
Must stop watching your videos late at night. It just makes me hungry and want to start cooking. Thanks John. 😂

Happy new year and all the best for 2023.
In 1972 when I got married, my best friend gave me as a wedding gift an enormous Cookbook that has served me well ever since. The dumplings you described where in that book, along with the recipe for making the beef stew to compliment the dumplings. It said in the book, these were the favorite dumplings of President Eisenhower. They have never failed me all these years. I love them more than the beef. They turn out so light and fluffy. I always make extras because they go so fast.
Always a favourite in our house. SGB 😋😋 They don't last long here neither. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Farmhouse sandwich loaf profoodhomemade.com/farmhouse-sandwich-loaf/
I've never even thought of doing drop-biscuits on top of the soup. I'm now thinking of New England clam chowder with cheddar bay biscuits finished on the topside.
Thanks for watching my friend.
What a great tip about dipping the spoon in the gravy so the dumpling mix doesn't stick to it. Last time I attempted to make dumplings the mix stuck to the spoon, so I tried wiping it with my fingers but then it was stuck to me and the spoon 😂 so much dumpling mix wasted that day!!! Can't wait to try this recipe, looks so good I can almost smell it through the screen 🤤

I definitely need to bake this, I want crispy baking powder dumplings and that stew. Gorgeous
been making beef stew and dumplings for 30+ years, it has always been everyone's favourite. I have tried different variations over the years but always go back to the simple recipe which is the best.
I also find that using a roasting joint is much better than stewing beef. Just buy a nice big piece of brisket and cut it into large 2" pieces. Buy using larger pieces, you can cook it to the point where it's falling apart, like pulled beef on the outside, which gives you nice thick beefy gravy full of beef bits, but still have nice big chunks of beef as well.
It is also much nicer if you use the beef's own fat to fry it, rather than using oil. then use that remaining fat to fry the onions too.
For the dumplings I use
1 part suet to 1.5 parts flour
e.g. 1 x 200g pack of suet to 300g of flour.
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
just enough water to form into squidgy balls
I tried your dumpling recipe tonight for a change, but everyone still preferred my usual recipe.
For the stew, I have always used either mixed herbs or Italian herbs, works perfectly. I also add a couple of tablespoons of Worcester sauce.
The original recipie was beef, carrots, onions and buttons mushrooms, but I don't use mushrooms anymore as kids don't like them. I sometimes add whole baby onions for myself and the wife.
I have tried various ales over the years, and London Pride has proved to be the best so far, it's stronger than most.
Thanks for the recipe my friend.
I found you purely by accident last night and today I am cooking this stew in my brand new STAUB dutch oven. (It was a toss up between this and and your mince beef and dumplings recipe but your stew won.)This will be the very first recipe I will cook in it and I'm delighted to have found this lovely recipe....CRISPY dumplings? Never heard of such before but oh my goodness are they ever YUMMY!!! Thank you John!!
Thanks for watching my friend 😉, good luck with your new Dutch oven. Please like share and subscribe for more great video recipes.
Followed the recipe to a tee ... and guess what it was the best ever, my husband wants this every day forever. the dumplings were to die for, he did say though I looked like a mad scientist in the kitchen measuring it all up lol

Hi John I am 68 in December and have made many a beef stew over the years... but I have never bothered with the dumplings as I remember them from when I was young as bland balls of stodge!. But this recipe of your looked irresistable. Oh my goodness what a tasty accompaniment those leek dumplings are and especially with the crusty tops! My husband (also a John) loved it as did I... I think the dumplings will become part of all my stews from now on. You are an honest to goodness, down to earth basic cook and I love your recipes! Keep them coming x

I love John's videos! I love his clear and detailed instructions and I especially appreciate that he shows us how to make his recipes even if you don't have a $600 electric mixer or some other expensive kitchen gadget! I tried this beef stew recipe today. FANTASTIC! It's the best ever. I now understand what the stout contributes (primarily malted grains). I wasn't too keen on the dumplings-- I prefer my dumplings to be lighter and fluffier-- but the dumplings were OK and the stew outstanding. Thanks, John!
Thanks for watching Pat much appreciated, if you made the dumplings correctly, they would and should have been light and fluffy.
Your voice is very calming and easy to listen to .
Thanks for watching Mark, much appreciated. Very kind, thank you 😃😉👍.

@@JohnKirkwoodProFoodHomemade Thank you,I will let you know how it turns out ...
I'm American and my husband is a Brit. For the first 3 or 4 Christmas holidays we had together I would ask him what he wanted that would remind him of home. He would always say "swead", but we never found it in the states. One day, just before Christmas (about 28 years ago) we were walking through the veg section. He points and gets excited. "SWEAD!!" he says. "RUTABAGA" I said!! If only he had said RUTABAGA 30 years ago! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂Love it! Me and my son are laughing. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Farmhouse sandwich loaf profoodhomemade.com/farmhouse-sandwich-loaf/
As an expat Brit I can tell you my mouth is watering….I love dumplings in my stew!❤
I made this today for my family - it was blummin fantastic! I've never been a fan of dumplings as I found them stodgy, but these were just amazing, so light - and the perfect ccompaniment to the luscious stew! Thanks for sharing this John, it 's a new family favourite!
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and I hope they turned out well.
I fixed this tonight in Irvine, CA with a few substitutions and we all love it. The dumplings are not doughy but rather light and airy. I used a bottle of guiness found at a local store. Just lovely!
Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channel's website, Scotch Pies profoodhomemade.com/scotch-pies/
I found it funny you said Guinness found at a local store. It’s everywhere and it’s a constant in this house. You must not drink beer much. 😊
That looks wonderful. I had never thought of putting chopped green leek tops in my dumplings but use
chopped parsley with a shake of garlic powder instead. Can't wait to try the leeks! My mother and her sisters' beef stews tasted identical with an individual flavour. Years ago bullocks were allowed to live longer and grow fatter, besides being hung for longer. Consequently, the chuck steak which they used contained more fat which they cut out and rendered and then browned the meat and vegetables in it. Because the cattle had lived longer they were more muscular, so you had more connective tissue, which if cooked fairly slowly added to the unctuousness of the gravy. I think beef fat gave it that special taste. There are, of course, still some farmers who produce this aged beef but one needs to take out a mortgage to buy it! As you can tell, I'm pretty ancient. I have to admit that I use vegetable suet in the dumplings although I know there is nothing to equal the suet bought from the butcher which you chopped yourself.
John those dumplings were amazing. Crunchy on the outside. Light and fluffy on the inside. Made them with chopped parsley instead of leak. Slow cooked stew for two hours while out shopping then in with the dumplings and in the oven for half hour. So so good.
I have always followed the recipe on the suet packet and made them with water but won't be doing that any more under wife's orders. Now a permanent fixture in the family recipe book.
Subscribed. Many thanks.

That's what I love about John's recipe's, they're always simple. I got sick of scouring the planet for obscure ingredients with Jamie Oliver and Ramsay's recipe's. I gave up trying in the end. Saying that, I would hate to be an American trying to find swedes and suet right now Lol.
Hi
i really enjoy your style of cooking, tasty, tried and tested recipes, not jazzed up like so many celebrity chefs.
A real joy to watch.
Thank you so much Chris🙂.

Hi John, I've just polished off my plate and it's the tastiest meal I've ate in ages. I used your other dumpling recipe, for the minced beef, as I had some spring onions to use up.
There are 1000s, of TH-cam foodie channels out there but this channel leaves them behind.
Good work. ☺

The smell almost came through the screen. It looks scrumptious! The meat was falling apart and oh, those dumplings. I never thought to put leeks in dumplings but I'm going to try it. I know this is 3 years old but I'm so glad to have found it. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy
John the beef and dumplings were divine never made them with egg and milk only with water but your recipe made them light fluffy with a lovely brown crunchy top. Shall be looking at more of your recipes.😀
Fantastic Denise! I'm pleased you gave them a try my friend and they turned out well.
We made this today
Couldn’t find suet in my grocery store In Minnesota USA
Substituted with lard
Works like a charm
Fantastic! I'm pleased you gave it a try my friend and it turned out well.
That's good to know, I'm in Minnesota too, and have found it impossible to find suet, Walmart had it online for $40 😳
Just made this today and it’s absolutely out of this world. I will 100% be making this again for many years to come. Thanks John

Thanks Rahmah nice to be back my friend.

Hope you enjoy Anna. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Crusty Farmhouse Cob profoodhomemade.com/crusty-farmhouse-cob/
That looks really tasty. Being from southern Appalachia, we usually had a cake of cornbread with our stew. We did eat chicken and dumplings (actual dumplings not phillo pastry) quite often though and I love those, I'll have to try this recipe. The dumplings are fairly similar to the ones I'm used to making, I'm not sure what you call the quick bread we call biscuits here in the States but that's what I was raised on as dumplings.
Sounds very similar Jason. Thanks for watching my friend. My latest video pie recipe. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Individual Steak Pie profoodhomemade.com/individual-steak-pies/
I think they translate to our scones
It's July of 2021, I live in the South in the States, it's like 100 degrees outside, but I'm sitting here planning when I can make this because it looks amazing.
Been very hot in the UK too, not as hot as you though. Thanks for watching my friend. Here is the ingredients list and full written method on the channels website, Scotch Pies profoodhomemade.com/scotch-pies/
Hi there! I just made this stew along with your dumplings. Stew is currently in the oven and dumplings currently resting.
You may get this a lot, but you sound awfully like the man that plays Winnie the Pooh! I hope you don’t get offended by it, I find it very amazing!
You describe everything so amazingly, and the recipe is super easy.
Thank you so much!

Looks most excellent chef. The leek dumpling looks out of this world. I have used thyme in my dough for stew before but leeks look even better. You have sold me on weighing my flour not measuring by cupfuls. It appears you have more control over the finished product. Thank you and as a retired waitress I would have proudly carried any of your dishes to the dining room.

Oh my days. You have the most beautiful calming, relaxing voice. I could honestly listen to you read the phone book (wow, showing my age!) You really can’t beat a delicious stew. This looks amazing. I’m excited to be going up to South Shields for a few daybreak. Where abouts are you?
