Oh how I love this book, with 90 scrumptious recipes for comfort food--my fav fare! Organized into chapters by the time it takes to make (from 10 to 40 minutes), each recipe had me drooling and each photo had me oohing and aahing. A winner!

I loved Country Comfort by Hari Beavis! Hari has a way of writing that made me want to curl up under a blanket with a mug of something hot, even though it’s 95° outside. I really appreciated that she took the time to do weights, metric measurements, and imperial measurements. She also gave great substitutions and gave the US equivalent of a lot of the ingredients. I love that she also said how long something would freeze for, and showed where you could do some steps ahead to save time. Very down-to-earth and comforting recipes. I can’t wait to try some of the recipes!

I received a copy of Country Comfort from NetGalley. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I need to buy this asap!
Not only are the photos of the food very pleasing to the eye but the instructions are to the point so it's easy to follow even for those who don't cook(bake) often!
I can't wait to try more of these recipes!
Well...I guess I'm on my way to make myself a dinner乁⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠o⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠ㄏ

A beautiful cookbook that includes all of your favorite “comfort” soups, salads, pastas, curries, casseroles, baked sweets and more! The recipes are approachable and organized by preparation time - comfort in 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes. This one will be a staple in my kitchen. Thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Admittedly I don’t use TikTok so I am not aware of this person’s celebrity.

As a home chef, I would purchase this cookbook for 2 reasons: every recipe is simple/comforting, a photo is provided for each of the recipes.

I think a great balance has been found not only in the collection of recipes but in the text. So many cookbooks are way too text heavy, We don’t want to read an essay about each dish.

There are several recipes from this book that I plan on making: Dragon PIe, Marmalade Cake, Parsnip Soup!

This title is not on StoryGraph for me to share my review with others.

Homey and cozy comfort cookbook. I loved all these recipes and cannot wait to work my way through this whole book. Especially throughout the fall/winter dreary months!

A very beautiful cooking book, which gives off the cozy, comfort vibes. All the recipes sound so good and I will totally make some of them, especially the hug-in-a-bowl beef strogonoff.

Country Comfort is a lovely cook and lifestyle book about country living and food. It is divided into three main sections with recipes of three degrees (of time/difficulties). This book offers a nuanced and niche approach and I liked that recipes were of different comfort levels for the cook.
The photos are appetising and inspiring. The overall moods is chic. And the listing of the alternative ingredients is a wonderful idea.

This is a very bougie cookbook that will be a big hit with many. There are beautiful photos for most of the recipes, but no nutritional information. It is divided into recipes that take 10, 20 and 30 minutes (supposedly) and desserts. The recipes tend to call for very high end ingredients— truffle oil, lamb, red Leicester cheese, prawns, etc. It is rather heavy on wheat, dairy and meat, making it less fitting for some dietary needs. It wasn’t a good fit for me but the recipes sounded delicious.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is such a cozy recipe book, the layout is well done and there's a wide range of options that feel really rustic and comforting. The pictures were really nice, very clear and aesthetic, they fit the theme while also showing exactly what your food should look like. The recipes seem to be easy enough to follow and I can't wait to try some

Country Comforts is a beautiful and thoughtful cookbook brimming with recipes that range from rustic to elaborate. I really enjoy the range as it allows readers to enter into Beavis's cooking wherever they feel comfortable.
