Food Blog

MRK asks in a comment to the last post, if there’s such a thing as a comfort food blog. I’m not really sure how to define comfort food, but we know many foods can effect our moods. For some, a mood altering food might be mac and cheese or a slice of chocolate cake. Other obvious comfort foods are hearty stews or warm pies. But other than the requirement that the word “lite” never appears in the recipe, comfort foods are a personal thing, based on early food experiences and ethnic traditions. Soul satisfying food doesn’t need to be traditional however, as I’ll try to prove with my upcoming osso bucco with root vegetable recipe. Does this type of food need to evoke memories? Or will an overload of carbs and/or chocolate do the trick? Let me know what types of food comfort you, and remember that comfort food is not the same as sick food
