OT: cookbook for stews/soups/etc?

NDG

I am looking for a new cookbook for winter that focuses on dutch oven type cooks . . hearty stews with greens, etc etc.  Thinking about Ruhlman's book called "how to braise" but wanted to see if you all had suggestions - thanks!

it really doesnt take a whole book for braising, or soup, or stews. most are inexpensive until you step up into the seafood chowders. google anne barilles braised lamb shank recipe for a basic braise and you can braise anything, heres two dishes, a brasciole and a leprechaun fudging her recipe

Are you looking for a book on stews/soups or one on braising?  For stews/soups I would suggest:

Stews, Bogs, And Burgoos: Recipes from the Great American Stewpot.  by James Villas

Its an oldie, but a goodie.  Being older is is available at good prices (under $10).

29 beef stews
21 pork stews
16 lamb or veal stews
24 poultry stews
17 game or variety meat stews

27 seafood stews
21 vegetable bean or fruit stews
16 biscuit recipes

It should take you most of the winter to go through all of these.
