As a caterer and chef, I often found comfort in my home kitchen, even after catering huge events. To me, it’s not only in the eating of it but also in the act of cooking itself, which can ground us to the present moment if we allow it. Even a few minutes of this a day is like medicine to the soul- restorative and grounding. My favorites include Truffle Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Lasagna, and Vegan Pot Pie!

What is comfort Food?

Comfort food, to me, is food that brings back happy memories, usually from childhood. Perhaps it is a favorite meal your parents cooked for you on your birthday or grandma’s chicken noodle soup, or a nostalgic meal from your past. Comfort food is tied to our emotions which is different for everyone. Many associate this with it being unhealthy, but to me, that is not necessarily true. My comfort food is my dad’s lentil soup and my mother’s tabouli, food which brings me back home.
