In Modern Comfort Food—Ina Garten’s twelfth cookbook—she offers 85 new recipes that are not only nourishing but also emotionally satisfying. These wonderfully familiar recipes will taste even better than you remember, as only Garten can make them.

Homecooks (and their eaters) will savor: warm spinach & artichoke dip, creamy tomato bisque, cheddar & chutney grilled cheese, smashed hamburgers with carmelized onions, seared salmon with roasted red pepper aioli, fresh corn polenta, black & white cookies, and for breakfast, waffle iron hashbrowns.

People might not be entertaining these days, but they are cooking. Modern Comfort Food is a return to soul satisfying favorites that make us feel safe and looked-after. With Garten’s elevated additions and modern twists, this is a new collection of foolproof recipes to return to again and again.
