Comfort food is an individual thing for most of us, and usually includes childhood favorites, and hearty warming foods that evoke good memories. That said, it is a difficult task to compile a cookbook that represents comfort food that everyone will relate to. Comfort Food Essentials: Over 100 Delicious Recipes for All-Time Favorite Feel-Good Foods (Fox Chapel Publishing) Cozy Cookbook - Banana Bread, Mac and Cheese, Chicken Noodle Soup, Pizza, and More, is a good attempt to present what means comfort to most of us. Wilcox has gathered recipes from many regions, i.e., Minnesota with a tater tot hot dish, American southwest with a taco pizza, southern black-eye peas and ham, etc. Many of the recipes won’t represent comfort to some of us, but are appealing anyway, and many of us will want to make them even though they might not particularly represent comfort.

The recipes are written in the traditional format, with the ingredients listed first, followed by step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow for cooks at any level. Included are beautiful, professional photographs of every recipe, making each dish appear mouthwatering. The author has also added notes at the beginning of each recipe which are helpful and interesting.

All told, this cookbook most likely includes a recipe or two that most of us can relate to and consider comforting.
