River Cottage Good Comfort: Best-Loved Favourites Made Better for You

If you’re anything from a reasonable cook upwards or just perhaps you’ve an extra helping of common sense or intuition a lot of these ingredient substitutes and suggestions to classic dishes to take then in a different or healthier direction will come as no surprise as anyone who cooks regularly will substitute chop and change regularly if they might not have certain ingredients or have more to feed or random veggies or vegans and fussy eaters turning up! Having said that, HFW always writes a great book and in the main really tasty seasonal food you’ll want to eat and more importantly, cook. The photo to recipe ratio is good and method pretty straightforward. Lots of great stuff in here. Definitely one for the primary shelf.

Our family love River cottage and all that Hugh does we recently watch all the old episodes from the late 90s.This book comes very appropriately at a time of high inflation and food prices rising and addresses so many issues we face day today.The recipes are simple not overly complicated and my meagre offerings from a small garden supplement the recipes and provide us with good hearty food.Not overly expensive to complete these recipes but left with great satisfaction

Good recipes and easy to follow

At last a sensible healthy cookbook. I have long enjoyed Hugh's programmes and his approach to food. This book is a great guide to sensible eating without being too extreme. A book like this has been long overdue and although a few of the recipes I had already worked out for myself, there are plenty of interesting ideas. Maybe a few could be a little healthier, but hey this is the best home cooking book since The Hairy Bikers healthy eating books.

What a great book, all the classics with a twist. It's so good to see a book that gives you all those comfort recipes you yearn for with simple additions or alternatives which enhance the taste yet stick to the core of original recipe. Who would have thought Macaroni & Cheese could taste so good with peas, spinach and capers. This one looks set to be on the kitchen bookshelf for decades to come, well done Hugh.

This is not just a recipe book, it’s a gentle introduction to a new approach to home cooking where Hugh encourages us to enrich the nutritional value of what we cook and gives helpful and achievable suggestions to achieve just that. Excellent and refreshing cookery book.

This book had significant water damage to about half the book and was not as described. Im really disappointed.

I am making a soup recipe for dinner this Sunday. There's many other of his cook books I want to try.
