modern comfort food: a barefoot contessa cookbook

An egg salad sandwich on toasted rye can cheer me up on a bad day, but it might not be what does it for you! They’re not fancy—in fact, quite the opposite. There are few things more comforting than gathering for a meal with the ones you love, especially when dishes like Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas are at the center of the table. But chicken soup? But when I tell my friends that I’m making Truffled Mac & Cheese (page 138) or Smashed Hamburgers with Caramelized Onions (page 116) for dinner, and Applesauce Cake with Bourbon Raisins (page 198) for dessert, they light up with glee. So, what exactly is comfort food? VERDICT Garten's cookbooks are perennial best sellers. Many popular foods that have become ingrained in American culture—ramen, tacos, pizza—were originally brought to this country by immigrants who sought to re-create the comforting taste of home. In these anxious times, who doesn’t want a little comfort? During times of financial and political stress, there’s something about a hamburger and Coke or a big bowl of beef stew that just makes us feel better. It’s comfort food dressed up for company.When you’re having a dinner party, it can be tempting to make something fancy to impress your guests. Garten fans will dig into these inviting recipes, presented in her always friendly tone. In other words, they’re comfort food.There are many foods that are universally comforting. The Boston Cream Pie alone will make you a hero in your house! People are isolated and stressed. I’ve updated it by making homemade Split Pea Soup with Crispy Kielbasa (page 62). Home cooks can always count on Ina’s dependable, easy-to-follow instructions, with lots of side notes for cooking and entertaining–it’s like having Ina right there beside you, helping you all the way. Now whenever I serve my Ultimate Beef Stew (page 104), my guests say they’ll never make beef stew any other way again.One of my personal favorite comfort foods is a BLT. Everyone I know has stocked up their fridges and pantries with ingredients they can cook for weeks or even months—chickens, vegetables, fruits, beans, rice, and dried legumes. I can totally relate to that! Standard party fare becomes refined with Garten's fresh crab nachos and fig and cheese toasts, while classic diner food gets an upgrade in the form of lobster BLTs and mac and cheese made with truffle butter. Food has an almost magical ability to comfort us, soothe us, and bring us together in so many ways. Anyone in search of nostalgic American comfort food with a twist will enjoy her latest offering.—Kelsy Peterson, Forest Hill Coll., Melbourne, Australia, ©1997-2020 Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc. 122 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011, Submit your email address to receive Barnes & Noble offers & updates.
