Cookbook talk:Beef and Barley Stew

I see two variations for how to cook this. As I'm a brand-new cook I'd like to know which to try... Would people please indicate differences when adding contrasting methods? In this case seems like the difference is centered around how long the various vegitables cook, with vegitables being added all at once in one and at different times in the other. Still, it is the most attractive looking recipe for beef stew I've found searching online, since I am looking for something simple, easy, low prep etc but also potentially well worth cooking in terms of flavor.

Something's wrong - parts of 2 recipes here
The second "recipe" (under "procedure") doesn't include a list of ingredients. It's not the same as the first - the second mentions bay leaf, but the first does not. What up? Jessicapierce 03:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
