Please help

My cousin is visiting soon, and he’s asking for my famous goat stew.
At the moment I owe him so much, and just want to impress.
Trouble is I’ve never cooked to a recipe.
I’m planning on browning the goat meat chunks, throw in baby carrots, new potatoes cut in half, all the onions and garlic in the world, rosemary, basil, bit more garlic, chilli flakes, chicken powder, and covering with either a chicken or veg stock, and cook until the potatoes and carrots go soft.
Does that sound ok?
What can I do to improve?
