From one of the nation's most beloved food writers and inspired by the award-winning podcast, Comfort Eating, is a wonderfully scrumptious, life-affirming journey through the foods that really mean the most to us.

What an absolute TREAT! A moving, sweet, and funny memoir about the power of comfort foods. The memories and emotions triggered by it warmed my heart and reminded me of those I love.

EVENING STANDARD

***

Have you ever wondered why eating cheese can sometimes feel like a cuddle? Or how a big bowl of pasta can be just what we need after a tough day? Oh, and what is it about butter that seems to make everything just that little bit better?

The foods we turn to behind closed doors are deeply personal, steeped in nostalgia, and topped with a healthy dollop of guilty pleasure. In Comfort Eating, Grace Dent throws open her kitchen cupboards to reveal why we hold these secret snacks and naughty nibbles so dear to our hearts.

Exploring her go-to comfort foods through a series of joyous encounters, Grace reflects on the memories they uncover and pays tribute to her parents, the people who taught her what comfort eating truly means. Along the way, she catches up with some famous friends to chat about their own favorites—from Jo Brand's fried bread sandwich and Russell T. Davies' butter pepperrice to Scarlett Moffat's crushed-Wotsits-topped beans on toast and many, many more. . . .

So grab a plate and pull up a chair: unfussy, honest, and filled to the brim with heartwarming stories and comfort food tales, Comfort Eating is the perfect treat for food lovers everywhere.

The restaurant critic's exploration of the delicious things we snack on is shot through with warmth and humor, making it a delightful read for anyone who loves food and the people who make it.
