Sometimes you just need something comforting to raise your spirits, to de-stress or indulge. 101 Comfort Food Classics has plenty of uplifting ideas from familiar favourites like Beef in ale with horseradish dumplings, Easiest-ever chocolate fudge cake and Steamed treacle pudding to more exotic, but equally cheering, combinations like creamy Prawn and harissa stew with couscous and Fluffy coconut and lime cake. With speedy suggestions for a quick comfort fix, bowl food to enjoy in front of the TV, meals for relaxed entertaining with friends, and ideas for when only something sweet will do, this book is the perfect companion.
