What does ‘comfort food’
mean to you?
When Simon and Alison
initially started thinking about this book, they were thinking of the likes of
soups, stews and curries – plus macaroni cheese and almost anything that
includes mashed potatoes.
Before they put pen to
paper, however, they thought they should check the definition. It seems most definitions of
comfort food are considerably wider, but the common elements include foods that
(not surprisingly) make you feel better, and that also evokes a sense of
nostalgia and makes you think of childhood and home cooking.
Happily, this gave them
considerably more scope. What they have come up with may seem to be an eclectic
selection, but it does includes many of their favourite recipes, some of which
just give a warm sense of wellbeing, and others that evoke memories of childhood
and a definite sense of nostalgia.
