Comfort Cooking by Wendy Morgan

Wendy Morgan is a qualified chef and Cordon Bleu cook, but in this cookbook, it’s all about comfort eating with enough for leftovers. Using seasonal produce, the recipes are low-stress, flavourful and nourishing.

Slightly nostalgic, the recipes range from one-pot meals to easy-to-make snacks, soups, breads, salads, preserves, mains and desserts. It’s a great recipe book for feeding hungry families.

Here's a taste of the recipes in the book:

• Crumbed mushrooms with a sherry cream sauce – a very classy entrée to serve to guests.

• Cheese and chive omelette – easy for a home lunch.

• Pumpkin, coconut and chilli soup – great value for feeding a family.

• Herby dinner rolls – that go with any meal.

• Lemon spaghetti – simple and zingy.

• Sweet and sour chicken – fresh and vibrant, the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

• Apricot and blackberry cobbler – perfect served with cream, ice cream or yoghurt.

A nice-sized cookbook with affordable comfort eating inside.
