Review
Over 200 recipes from the Good Food team guaranteed to pick you up and make you feel better. For this is comfort food, food that works magic not just with your taste buds but with your entire mood. This is food to give you a lift, dispel the winter blues, help you unwind after a busy and frustrating day. And there's more to comfort food than deep-fried Mars bars and bacon sandwiches, although all these recipes are easy to produce and strong on taste and flavour. There's also an emphasis on low-fat and sensible eating. Comfort food doesn't have to be bad for you: if naughty is sometimes nice there's ample proof here that sensible and within reason are not so bad either, even if they don't sound quite so tempting.

Customer Reviews

does exactly what it says on the tin
kedgeree, chilli con carne, strawberry and banana knickerbocker glory, shepherd's pie, moroccan lamb burgers, eggnog tart, gratin dauphinoise etc. they are all here, - all the sticky, fattening, cholestrol-filled goodies your mammie used to make. i wholeheartedly recommend "good food: comfort food" if only because it encourages that warming sense of nostalgia we all get on rainy days indoors.

(p.s. you can get the same effect from anything by nigel slater.)
