This is my purely delicious slow cooked broth with clean nourishing flavours that helps to revitalise the body and restore good health. In cookery terms, bone broth is basically just a good homemade stock. We’ve been making stocks for centuries to be used for soups as well as the most magical sauces. As a chef, I like to slowly simmer my stock to extract all the wonderful flavour and goodness from the bones and vegetables used.
