River Cottage Good Comfort : Best-Loved Favourites Made

After trying this recipe I felt I could make something similar enough at home that I would no longer miss the takeaways - and using up what was in the fridge even became fun, like selecting options from the menu, rather than making do. I was sceptical as it was their most recent publication - maybe they just wanted to shift more copies - but I took a closer look. HFW's other mission is to encourage cooks to use a variety of good ingredients, which is my culinary mission too. Anyway, I'm off to make something omni, but which I think is in the spirit of this book: a version of Elizabeth David's Omelette au Boudin, with one omelette folded in half rather than two, and added spinach.And Good Comfort is in every way generous, as Hugh makes our favourite foods healthier not by taking stuff out of them, but by putting more in: the best whole ingredients, celebrated in all their colourful and seasonal diversity. As the colder weather rolls in, there is nothing better than some home cooked comfort food to warm the cockles and that is exactly what you can expect from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's new River Cottage Comfort recipe book. I'd have liked a few more recipes just for two - it's not always easy to scale down from a recipe for 6 and I don't always have room in the freezer for four extra portions.

People used to making recipes dairy-free or vegan will already have their own preferred method of making standards like batter, but this book seems likely to interest omni households who cater for vegan guests from time-to-time, or who may have one (perhaps newly) vegan resident who isn't the main cook.

It has tones reminiscent of 1970s to early-80s books, but is glossier and more visually appealing, and with cleaner lines. It's an early-autumn colour scheme, with lots of green and brown: the start of my favourite time of year, and also when keen cooks are gearing up to make exactly this kind of food. Vegans, you could have sold me a meal if you were serving more than chocolate brownies and Impossible Burgers stacked with sheeze and relish.

If you’re anything from a reasonable cook upwards or just perhaps you’ve an extra helping of common sense or intuition a lot of these ingredient substitutes and suggestions to classic dishes to take then in a different or healthier direction will come as no surprise as anyone who cooks regularly will substitute chop and change regularly if they might not have certain ingredients or have more to feed or random veggies or vegans and fussy eaters turning up! Last time we had friends over for dinner, I made a dessert of home-made avocado ice-cream, with brownies. During River Cottage Spring (2008) Hugh helped a group of Bristol families start a smallholding on derelict council land. The perception that the food we love can't also be good for us is swept away by this stunning collection of delicious, heart-warming recipes that also happen to be packed with good things that help keep us healthy.

It's the usual cook's philosophy section, which in this case is HFW's mission to recreate comfort foods that are not heavy, cloying, too rich or too sweet. Tegelaar apparently doesn't agree with the experiments and advice on sugar reduction I linked above, and which have usually worked for me, though she does mention that high fruit content makes eggless baking easier.With the help of our AI technology and professional review teams, we give weight to the worth of individual user experiences.
