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.

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.

A beautiful cookbook, especially to display but didn't hold the kind of recipes I was expecting it to. I am still interested in trying some of them out, just highly recommend looking into this author's background and reading more of the summary before picking up. The title can be easily misinterpreted. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

What I like most about this book is the design. The recipes and tips are useful and seem appealing. I have however come accross many books that were quite similar, which is why it doesn't scream favourite to me. Would absolutely stock this in my cookbook section though.

Delicious. The pictures are breathtaking, the food is doable but looks so fancy! I really enjoyed going through this cookbook, just like a book and reading through it. It was great!

This is a beautiful cookbook! The recipes are delicious and so comforting. I like that it separates it into time as that is often a big factor in deciding what to make but I also like that it includes the equipment necessary. Styling and photos are beautiful and I can wait to try more recipes from it. The recipes aren’t revolutionary but they are absolute staples everyone should be able to cook.

This is English country living which I wasn't aware of. But it's an easy-to-follow Cookbook with great photos. I learned new recipes I wouldn't have otherwise. I loved her commentary on why the entries were chosen,

I've been finding myself in a bit of a rut recently when it comes to cooking dinner, so this book came along at the right time!

The recipes in Country Comfort are divided into 5 sections: 10-minute recipes, 20-minute recipes, 30-minute recipes, 40-minute recipes and baking. The fastest recipes are perfect for busy school nights and most of them would work for fussy kids. Some of my favourites were the chicken quesadillas (great for using up leftover chicken) and creamy chicken pasta, which I am adding to my rota for swimming nights when I only have 15 minutes to get dinner on the table. I'm also looking forward to trying the one-pan salmon orzo and the couscous, sweet potato and pomegranate salad.

As the title suggests, a lot of these recipes could be classified as comfort food and so there is liberal use of heavy cream in many of the recipes. That said, there are plenty of salads and recipes with lots of vegetables too!

One thing I really appreciated was the Alternative Ingredients list at the bottom of most recipes, suggesting substitutions based on what you might have in your pantry (for instance the cheesy fish pie suggests replacing potatoes with sweet potatoes or pie pastry and offers suggestions of different fish and seafood fillings).

A recommended read for fans of Jamie Oliver and dinner makers in need of inspiration.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing group for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

These recipes lack detail and it seems like “intuitive” steps for the author have been skipped and not put into writing. This cookbook is aesthetically pleasing, and I liked all the pictures of the food. The chapters organize the recipes into how long it takes to cook each recipe, which could be beneficial if you were looking for something quick to make. This cookbook seems like it could be marketed to people with less coking experience, who are looking for quick meals to put together. I just think the recipes would benefit from more details in the instructions. The pizza dough recipe would also benefit from the addition of salt.

This book is incredible. It is well set out and the recipes are easy to follow - I have tried a few out to great success. All recipes are hearty and really stay true to the idea of comfort food.

This is a book filled with winter comfort foods, homely staples that stick to the ribs and make you feel cosy and full. It is very British with hints of Indian, Italian, American and French.
The recipes are simple, easy to make, most are pretty cheap and full of flavours.
Most are also probably heavier than what I like but are perfect for the home cook that doesn't want a lot of cookbooks, doesn't want to spend a lot of time behind the stove, and needs something they can use all winter.
Can't say there is a lot of surprise for me, it's filled with the classics with only slight twists, but it's a very beautiful book and I'm sure it will become a favourite in many homes.

I have followed Hari for years and I am so excited for my physical copy of this book to arrive!!

I've tried loads of her recipes in the past and they're all incredible

This cookbook offered a delightful browsing experience, with a focus on the ever-popular concept of comfort food. The sheer variety of delicious and healthy meals was indeed impressive. The time-based categorisation of recipes is a practical advantage for busy cooks. The inclusion of substitute ingredients for common allergens or unavailable items is also a thoughtful touch. While the book delivers on its promise of comfort food, a broader range of vegetarian options would have further enhanced its appeal. Ultimately, this cookbook serves its intended purpose well and merits a recommendation, particularly for those seeking familiar, satisfying meals.

Having read the book I thought whats the point, nothing original or different. But her instagram page makes me feel like maybe its just for some people a nice book to have, though I prefer her instagram.

Country Comfort is a recipe book that is broke down into how long recipes take to make (10, 20, 30, and 40 minutes). It is full of delicious food and has lots of photos. My favorite recipes are the "Can't be bothered to cook' chilli noodles, Ricotta stuffed tomato pasta, Grandparents approved carrot cake, Poppy seed, rosemary and lemon drizzle muffins, and the Cinnamon crunch cake.

Read this book if you like:
* simple comfort food that feels like a hug

Stars: 4/5

Thank you to Hari Beavis, Quarto Publishing Group, and Netgalley let for allowing me to read an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was such a joy and inspiration to flip through. I love the concept of comfort food and having so many delicious and wholesome meals at hand is fantastic. The recipes are structured according to the time needed to prepare them, which is very helpful. I also really like that most of the recipes list substitute ingredients, in case of allergies or if something is not available. A few more vegetarian options would have been great, but the book definitely fulfills what it sets out to be. Highly recommended!

This cookbook is so stunning. It’s one of those cookbooks that are such a joy to flip through.

The concept of this book was executed so well. The recipes are easy to follow and the images are so beautiful!

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion, Carnival and Hari Beavis for giving me an ARC copy of this wonderful cookbook!
