Book Description

October 3, 2006
Everyone loves comfort foods. They conjure up images of childhood, family meals, relaxed happiness, warmth, and peace. Now, for the first time in one volume, these two books featuring the ultimate in comfort foods–Macaroni & Cheese and Meat & Potatoes–are together at last.

Macaroni & Cheese
presents 52 different takes on the most classic dish from famous restaurants and gourmet food stores–like Chat n’ Chew, Wish, City Bakery, Union Pacific, Hamersley Bistro, and Fairway Market–and from well-known chefs–like Bobby Flay , Waldy Malouf, Rick Bayless, Katy Sparks, Andrew Carmellini, and Wylie DuFresne. Try:
·Tomatoey Mac and Cheese
·Orecchette con Fonduta
·Terrine of Macaroni, Goat Cheese, and Foie Gras
·Chunks of Lobster Swimming in Cheesy Macaroni
·Sweetened Mascarpone and Noodle Pudding

Meat & Potatoes offers fascinating fare from an outstanding set of celebrated chefs across the country. With recipes from Dan Barber and Michael Anthony, Arthur Schwartz, Bobby Flay, Sue Torres, and Cyril Renaud; and restaurants as diverse as Fresh, Los Barrios, Payard Pâtisserie, Bubby’s Pie Company, Mesa Grill, and Nora, these dishes range from the simple to the sublime:
·Braised Short Ribs with Pan-Roasted Ruby Crescent Fingerlings
·Slow-Braised Beal and Vanilla Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie
·Indian-Spiced Rack of Lamb with Potato Tikki and Mint Yoghurt
·Chorizo, Potato, and Goat Cheese Quesadillas
·Brine-Marinated Pork Chops with Scallion-Smashed Potatoes and Grilled Granny Smith Apple Slices

Simple enough for the casual cook, yet sophisticated enough to impress experienced chefs, these dishes will leave every guest comfortably stuffed and deliciously delighted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfort Food Categories, but Upscale Recipes, November 10, 2011
By 
This review is from: The Comfort Food Cookbook: Macaroni & Cheese and Meat & Potatoes: 104 Recipes, from Simple to Sublime (Hardcover)
Although it has a nice layout, this cookbook wasn't really what I was expecting or looking for. The entire book was divided into two sections: Mac & Cheese and Meat & Potatoes. Literally the first 120 pages were devoted to variations on macaroni and cheese. The rest of the book was devoted to beef, veal and other cuts of meat - most of them grilled - paired with appropriate potato dishes.

If you're looking for creative variations just to shake up your routine, you'll find lots of options in these pages. The author has picked up recipes from dozens of famous chefs and high end restaurants.

Unfortunately for those picking up the book on the promise of comfort food, most of these recipes contain expensive or cultured palate ingredients. Anyone thinking cheap, family-friendly or nostalgia inducing food will be disappointed.
