Inspiring cookbook with some delicious-looking recipes.
I like how the content is organized; it makes it easier to find what you're looking for. I'm definitely looking forward to trying out some of the recipes.
Thank you to NetGalley and Carnival for the ARC.
I feel like I haven’t seen a decent cookbook in a while and Country Comfort has changed that!
Beautifully photographed delicious food which all looks like I could make it, to start with the Momma’s chicken Cesar salad sounds and looks amazing and then I came across the Marmalade cake which made me rush to the fridge to check I had marmalade so that I can make it today!
This book will be a great addition to any kitchen shelf, I will certainly be using it for family meals and treats!
Lots of lovely photos showing the delicious sounding recipes. Lots of everyday family meals and I can’t wait to try lots of them. My mouth was watering just reading the book.
I have followed Hari for a while on social media so was quite excited for her book to be released. The book is well laid out with alternative ingredients if needed. I love the range of time period available giving you a wide range of recipe choices. Highly recommend this book
This was a lovely read featuring the most cozy, comforting recipes imaginable. Including beautiful photos, this cook book deserves to be in every kitchen!
This is a fantastic cookbook and I have already planned to make several of the recipes over the next week for my family. I love the photos which are enticing and also give that comfort family country house feel - with the colour tone in the photos almost giving a throw back to the 1970's when everything was cooked from scratch and just healthier and comforting. This is my type of food and I am excited to start cooking.
A fantastic cookbook with lots of easy to follow recipes that the whole family could enjoy including the fussy eaters in my life. We’ve enjoyed the ‘can’t be bothered to cook’ chilli noodles and speedy creamy risotto. I really liked that there was alternatives to certain ingredients such a wine, as a Muslim we don’t consume alcohol and there aren’t many recipes which would recommend a substitute. There’s still so many recipes we want to try which include the ‘to cure a cold’ ramen and ‘man flu’ chicken soup- as you can guess, we can be a poorly household so these recipes will come in handy. And don’t get me started on the desserts, the apple crumble was bliss!
This cookbook is lovely! Full of comfort foods and delicious recipes. I especially love how the book is divided into sections based on length of cook time, making it easy to determine what to make each week based on my schedule.
As an American, I found the recipes and ingredients appealing and accessible. The only inconvenience is some measurements using grams/oz (i.e. peas, shrimp, Parmesan cheese), which may restrict individuals who do not have a kitchen scale. However, the majority of ingredients do have cup/fl oz conversion notated.
I’m looking forward to exploring more recipes in this book and bringing a little piece of England to my home.

Easy to follow, relatively quick (30 min average) recipes that are actually delicious! Comfort food is my favourite and these aren't daunting recipes but they look impressive when served!! I will be buying the hardcover!
Lovely cookbook with comforting recipes, have tried a few recipes so far and they were easy to follow and a big hit at home. Cannot wait to try some of the baking recipes soon!
Big plus were the aesthetic photos accompanying the recipes; the easy to follow instructions and the suggested alternatives.

I love the photography, every plate looked delicious, and the recipes are easy to follow. However, if your palette isn't "adult", there will probably be more dishes you'd NOT make, than dishes you would in this book. I would maybe make and eat 15% of the featured recipes, but that's just my tastebud issues. I feel like most people would like these array of recipes. I also feel like the title of the book doesn't really go with the vibe of the recipes, if that makes sense. It's a bit misleading in my opinion.
I’m a sucker for cookbooks, and Country Comfort did not disappoint! This cookbook is filled with delicious recipes and stunning food photos that make you want to dive right in. The dishes are perfect for adding to my monthly family meal rotation. I’m especially excited to try the Messy Sausage Pasta, Mediterranean Pasta Salad, Pulled Chicken Tacos, and the Sunday Sports Chicken Mac ‘n’ Cheese. For dessert, the Grandparents-approved Carrot Cake sounds like the perfect sweet ending to any meal.
What a yummy and comforting cookbook! I can’t wait to start cooking from it.
Well-written and beautifully illustrated recipes broken down into groups by how long it takes to make them. The groups range from COMFORT IN 10 to COMFORT IN 40 with baking in a separate group. The Steak and Caramelised Onion Sandwich was in the COMFORT IN 20 group. That time was taken up by the caramelising of the onions. It was a good use of leftover steak I already had. One of the best steak sandwiches I have ever made according to my family. Will be making more of these British recipes.
I have a great fondness for cookbooks and 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗧 was a fantastic addition to my collection. I enjoyed everything about this book from its layout, pictures and extensive collection of recipes. I tested quite a few of them and enjoyed them very much. This book kept me entertained and I spent a great bit of time n my kitchen because of it. A definite must have.
This is definitely my sort of cook book and I can honestly say I would probably make and try most, if not all, of the recipes contained within. I haven't come across Hari Beavis before but I am now a fan and like her little introductions at the beginning of each recipe. Easy to follow with clear instructions and accompanied by beautiful photos for most of the recipes which must truly inspire the reader. I liked the way the recipe chapters are set out in timings from 10 to 40 minutes, very useful, especially when in a hurry. Plenty of tips plus ideas of alternative ingredients and suggestions. I shall definitely be on the look out for this book once published as I so much prefer using an actual book in the kitchen and often sit of an evening browsing through recipe books.
Country Comfort is a debut cookbook by Hari Beavis filled with 90 recipes for quick and easy comfort food inspired by country living. The recipes are organized by time, ranging from Comfort in 10 minutes to Comfort in 40 minutes, with a special baking chapter at the end. From Honey-Kissed Camembert to Mushroom and Prosecco Risotto, you'll find a variety of delicious dishes to make, including easy wins like Leftover Roast Dinner Hotpot and tasty bakes like Almond Bundt Cake. Each recipe includes swaps and additional options for customization, making it easy to create wholesome meals for any occasion.
I am eagerly anticipating the release of the hardcover edition. Although I do not currently follow Hari Beavis on social media, I am now considering doing so. This debut cookbook features a plethora of stunning candid photos and images of the recipes. I particularly appreciate the book's organization, which makes it easy to navigate. I am thrilled at the prospect of trying out some of these recipes!
The baked recipes included in the book are truly mouthwatering. Who wouldn't want to attempt making croissant or waffle pudding? I recently tried the cream puffed pastries, and I am eagerly awaiting feedback from my family.
This cookbook has elevated my cooking skills and makes me feel like a professional chef! The hardcover edition is set to be released on 9/2/2024, and I am counting down the days until I can get my hands on a copy.
Thank you NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion | Carnival for digital ARC copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Achievable recipes that wrap you up in a warm embrace with every bite.
Thank you to NetGalley aan the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I love a good cookbook and I’m always looking for new recipes. The cover Dane title drew ,e to this one. One thing I loved about this is the book is sectioned off from 10,20,30, & 40 minute recipes. This is really great option to the book because sometimes you need a quick meal and other times you might have more time to make a larger meal, Honestly some of these recipes were over my head and I didn’t know what some of the ingredients were but there were still quite a few recipes that I loved and hope to try. Some of the recipes included My Loved Ones Carbonara, Chicken Quesadillas, a speedy creamy chicken risotto, and a Chicken Mac n Cheese. There was a great chopped Cobb Salad and a Chicken Caesar Salad. I also think it depends on the type of meat you like there were several fish recipes. I truly loved the dessert section from a chocolate & hazelnut croissant pudding, a banana, peanut butter chocolate muffins, and a simply delicious brownies. With the range of recipes this was definitely worth a buy.
I don't think I've ever given a cookbook 5 stars but this wins! The picture are delectable and the recipes seem easily adjustable. I saw so many individual and unique recipes worth try and it definitely made this book worth recommending or buying for a friend! Food lovers know good country cooking when they see it.
This book truly is what the title promises, so much comfort food! I love the recipes and the pictures are AMAZING! The instructions are easy to follow and the ingredients easy to find. Nothing I want more from a cookbook.
