Feel-good food for grey and busy days
The kitchen has always been my happy place - it's the only place I feel completely at ease. Cooking has got me through some proper tough times! It also helps me slow down, take a breath and take stock.
These recipes are all dishes that make me smile - they give me joy and I want to share that joy with you. From my go-to Chicken Nuggets and Brown Butter Macaroni Cheese to my Cinnamon Pastry Twists, you'll find all my everyday favs here.
I've included quick meals for those days when you just can't think about what to cook, and my 'therapy' recipes that are good for distracting a worried mind - at least for a while.
Take care of yourself.
Love,

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
From the start of this bubbly book, Great British Bake Off winner Brown (Comfort) is frank about her mental health struggles: "I cook not only because I want to, but because I need to. Cooking is a saviour for me." Here she shares the joy of cooking in the form of dozens of hearty, comfort food recipes straight from her kitchen and heart. Featured throughout are British classics like beer-battered fish and chips with tartar sauce, roast lamb, and cherry and almond spotted dick. There are plenty of carb-heavy indulgences to bury one's feelings in, including pesto gnocchi gratin, and brown butter macaroni and cheese ("the ultimate comfort food"). Brown devotes a section to dishes that require a slow cooker—such as chocolate and caramel chia rice pudding, and smoky bean chili—and includes alternate steps for home cooks who prefer to use a stovetop instead. Her judgment-free tone ("please make sure you enjoy a huge slice," she says of one cake) and helpful side notes are sure to lift home cooks' spirits as much as the recipes themselves. "This book doesn't aim for perfect," Brown writes. "It aims for deliciousness." Readers will be pleased to learn these tasty offerings deliver exactly that.
