Comfort food - it means ease, simplicity, and delicious flavours that make us feel nourished, nurtured and happy. For many, comfort food is redolent of childhood - wonderful roasts, warming stews, delicious puddings and the summer kind of salads-and-barbecues. But in Australia now, with so many cuisines and foods happily accepted into our daily lives, the idea of comfort food has broadened.
Passionate cook and food editor Maureen Simpson has seen food styles come and go, but she knows that it's comfort food that we most often secretly hanker for. With over 100 delicious recipes, 'Comfort Food' combines Maureen Simpson's boundless knowledge of cookery and the brilliant variety of fresh Australian produce.
Carefully chosen to tempt not only the cooks among us, but naturally our families and our dinner guests too, these favourite dishes have been selected and updated to give a new sheen to the concept of comfort food. With little fuss but lots of style and flavour, 'Comfort Food' will have everyone coming back for more.
