Temporary? Insanity

I can cook. No really, I can. Despite years and years of evidence to the contrary, with a good recipe in hand, a wee bit of confidence, and the same amount of luck, I can often pull off something marginally edible. Sometimes, I even manage to skirt the edges of Yummy.

However, culinary disaster often lurks, coiled and waiting to strike. There have been accidentally broiled cookies, ingredient substitutions that just did not work, burned messes, cooked on the outside but doughy on the inside issues (I always blame the oven), and many other “interesting” concoctions that Neil has attempted to eat.

I have a new best friend in the kitchen though, and it’s Comfortably Yum, a cookbook by the reknowned Luisa Perkins. Delightful, warm, and inspiring, Luisa’s words and recipes embody the word Comfort perfectly.

I’ve tried a handful of recipes so far and every one has been a raging success. My children now clamour for her (ahem, I mine MY!) muffins daily.

Those who know Luisa know her to be as lovely and warm as the cookbook she has created. When word first began circulating that she was putting together a cookbook, her friends began salivating at the thought. Luisa has a gift with food, and a keen appreciation for the best. In Comfortably Yum she shares that with her readers in a beautiful way.

Take a peek. Good food is something there can never be too much of in this crazy world of ours.
