Ideas for foods that are both comforting and delicious.

Everyone has fond memories of recipes that evoke the warmth of home and family and soul-satisfying foods. In 400 Best Comfort Food Recipes, there are satisfying favorites as well as new interpretations for modern comfort food.

Some of these recipes were published in 300 Best Comfort Food Recipes. There are 100 brand new ones that will also be welcome in any home cook's repertoire.

A sampling of the comfort-inspired recipes:

• Old-fashioned pea soup with smoked ham
• Meat loaf and mashed potato pie
• Baked polenta with roasted vegetables
• Classic scalloped potatoes
• Fudgy chocolate brownies
• Buttermilk pancakes with spiced maple apples.

Each recipe is simple and reliable, yet extremely comforting and delicious. Many encourage a make-ahead process to freeze for later use. With recipe shortcuts and serving suggestions throughout, this collection will add a new comfort food tradition in any home.

This review is from: 400 Best Comfort Food Recipes (Paperback)

I discovered this cookbook at my local library and liked it so much I had to have one of my own. It has an excellent variety of recipes, they're detailed with tips, and they're EASY. I'm not much of a cook but this book has enough interesting recipes to make even the most kitchen-phobic person try something new and different.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: 400 Best Comfort Food Recipes (Paperback)

We bought this cook book as one of 4 cookbooks recommended, a couple of years ago, by the Montreal Gazette,a newspaper, here in Quebec, Canada. So I bought all four cook books for my wife.Of the four cookbooks listed in the newspaper, the 400 Best Comfort Food is by far the preferred one. My wife likes the cookbook because it has simple, easily made dishes that are delicious and healthy. We both work, so the recipies have to be practical. We have bought this cookbook as a gift for family and friends. This latest purchase was also for a gift. My wife has many cookbooks; this one is used quite often. We shy away from rich foods and/or recipies that will make you sick and/or bring heart & stroke issues. So this book, along with recipes from Cooking Light, wins the day for us!!
