Comfort food means different things to different people. In the case of Hari Beavis, social media star and author of Country Comfort: Hearty, wholesome meals in minutes, it’s all British comfort food. That is not a bad thing, it’s just possibly different from comfort food in the US. This excellent cookbook has dozens of mouthwatering ideas that are very tempting.

The recipes have a definite British slant, and they are written in the traditional manner with ingredients listed first followed by step- by-step instructions to insure perfect results for both beginning and advanced cooks. Beavis also adds comments at the beginning of the recipes with helpful hints, vignettes, and information to help with a successful dish.

Beavis has also included beautiful professional photographs of most of the recipe, making them look absolutely mouthwatering. The variety is endless, and includes meals made with meats, poultry, and fish, and includes British mainstays like savory pies, brunch, and dinner dishes. There are plenty of pasta dishes and fabulous desserts. There are recipes gathered from places around the world, such as Mexico, Italy, and the Middle East, including curry and even some vegetarian dishes.

All told, every time I peruse this cookbook I add another dish or two to my “must make soon” queue. This will keep readers cooking fun, new meals for months.
