Margaret George is known for writing meaty books that are so thick they could double as doorstops. She likes to pick an historical figure and take a deep dive into their lives. In The Autobiography of Henry VIII, George puts the bigger than life king on the page. His story is full of ego, drama, and well-known figures of history. His life changed British history and, in this book, George spends nearly 1,000 pages taking us through Henry's reign.
A meaty book requires a meaty dish. This slow cooker rosemary garlic beef stew from Budget Bytes is the perfect accompaniment to George's text. It takes around four hours to cook which is the perfect amount of time to really get in to the book. As you're reading, the savory flavors wafting through your home will have you thinking of kingly feasts and palace intrigue. Plus, the leftovers will sustain you for a few meals. That's a good thing because there's no way to finish a George book in one sitting.
