Is there anything more comforting than a warming bowl of rich beef bourguignon? Michael Caines pairs his with creamy dauphinoise and French-style green beans. Bourguignon makes a great alternative to a Sunday roast, or a great dinner party idea if you want to impress your guests. If you’re short of time, serve with M&S potato gratin dauphinoise instead.
