 Fine Cooking Comfort Food Nov 19, 2011
By Jo
As someone who is not a great lover of cooking but who likes good food, 'Fine Cooking Comfort Food' is an absolute must. It offers a great range of exciting meals which wouldn't be out of place in a good restaurant. The recipes are easy to follow and simple to prepare.
The book offers a wide selection of recipes which are colourful and tasty. I feel it would even be suitable for vegetarians as there are quite a number of meat-free dishes. I also love the hints and tips dotted throughout the book which are very useful. Thankfully for my husband, it is likely to turn me into a good cook.
This is quickly becoming my main cookbook. I have also recommended it to my friend who is an excellent cook to help extend her repertoire.

 Everyday food Nov 19, 2011
By wogan
"the book reader"
This is a good book for those who wish to have the everyday recipes that can become standards in many households. The types included are; soups and chowders, stews and chilis, one pot meals, casseroles, breakfast and brunch, sandwiches, sides, desserts. None of the dishes are that difficult to prepare or have exotic ingredients. If your pantry is well stocked, you probably have most already in your kitchen.
There are tips about freezing, preparation techniques and information about the ingredients interspersed with the recipes. There are pictures for most and each recipe has per serving calories, protein, carbs and other nutritional information. There is a chart for metric equivalents and an index.
Our family has enjoyed several of these dishes, especially the sides and desserts have been successful, such as the sour cream coffee cake with brown sugar streusel. None of the recipes seem that challenging and would be suitable for beginning cooks and even those more experienced who wish to have some good wholesome everyday recipes in their collection.
soul-satisfying fare from soups through desserts Feb 19, 2012
By Virginia Campbell
What a lovely, lovely book with non-intimidating recipes that make the most of the clever combinations of ingredients. From simple to sensational, each dish is clearly defined in preparation techinques. Additional cooking tips and beautiful color photos are generously offered throughout the book. "Fine Cooking Comfort Food: 200 Delicious Recipes for Soups, Stews, Casseroles & More" is a fantastic offering from "Fine Cooking" magazine. If you are a well-seasoned cook, or a kitchen beginner wanting to expand your culinary repertoire, you will love this book! The soups and stews are sensational: "Root Vegetable & Barley Soup with Bacon"; "Thai Hot & Sour Shrimp Soup"; "Spicy Sausage, Escarole, & White Bean Stew", to name a few. There are three knockout meatloaf versions, including: "Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf with Mushroom Gravy". You will also find a tempting array of pasta dishes, sides, and veggies. Then there are the desserts, like "Coffee-Toffee Pecan Pie"--oh, my! If you seek comfort and sustenance from well-flavored foods with moderate ease of preparation, and a range from savory to sweet, then you will be well-comforted indeed!
