Good Housekeeping Comfort Food

October 15, 2011

This inexpensive, spiral-bound compilation includes not only indulgent dishes like Macaroni and Cheese and Dark Chocolate-Walnut Caramel Pie but also "slimmed-down" classics like Favorite French Toast (made with whole wheat bread) and New Green Bean Casserole. In addition to providing nutritional variety, the book balances traditional dishes (e.g., Chicken Noodle Soup) with contemporary interpretations (e.g., Curried Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie). The recipes are "made easy" through the use of a well-stocked pantry and freezer, streamlined cooking techniques, and time-saving appliances. A useful, straightforward compilation for busy families.
