Simple, hearty recipes from the queen of comfort food

Good food does not mean complicated food. Whether it’s a bowl of something warming on a Tuesday night, or a weekend feast for friends, this is comforting, filling, flavour-packed food from Sophie Wyburd.

These recipes make cooking a non-stressful affair – from everyday dinners including Harissa Braised Cod and Chipotle Vodka Gnocchi Bake, to more adventurous mains for when you’re feeling that bit fancier, such as Curried Chicken Legs with Cheesy Polenta.
'A collection of exciting recipes that are cosy and simple. I can almost hear Sophie’s infectious laugh coming through in the beautiful writing.' - Ixta Belfrage

Everyone deserves good-quality food they can get excited about, and Sophie’s debut is the definition of comfort food. From party nibbles to an entire chapter dedicated to carbs, it’s fast become our go-to cookbook. And even the most novice of cooks will be able to whip up a MasterChef-worthy dinner thanks to Wyburd’s foolproof instructions. * Cosmopolitan Book Awards 2024 *
