With Modern Comfort Food, Ina Garten's 12th cookbook, readers will discover comforting recipes that nourish the body and satisfy the soul.
In the midst of a global pandemic and with winter approaching, Garten provides readers with gratifying and accessible recipes to share with family and friends. Reconstructed classics like Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Cheddar & Chutney Grilled Cheese and Split Pea Soup with Crispy Kielbasa put a new spin on old favorites. Vegetables aren't often associated with comfort food, but Brussels Sprouts Pizza Carbonara and Broccoli & Kale Salad put healthy greens front and center. Modern ingredients, like Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce, give Ultimate Bloody Marys an extra kick. Fresh ingredients and new twists on classic cuisine make this the perfect cookbook for challenging times. --Frank Brasile, librarian
