"...Rayne and Bannerman [the authors] and their friends got it right. This is a great source for a lot of traditional favourites. There are even recipes you might not expect in a comfort-food collection, but they bring back fond memories for someone."

"I had a wonderful time reading these recipes, and love them to pieces. They are full of nostalgia for an era when almost everything that came out of the oven was comfort food. Macaroni and Cheese, Meat Loaf Chicken Pot Pie. The heart yearns and the appetite rejoices."
    June Callwood
    Renowned author and advocate
 
"As a busy mother of two young boys, I rate these Comfort Food Books as winners. It was a trip down memory lane to find recipes such as Tomato Soup and Welsh Rarebit - just like my Mom used to make - that I'd never been able to duplicate. This is real down home food; it is not only comforting to eat, the stories make you feel like you've been given a warm hug."
    Sue Lathrop
    Mom, great cook and friend to many
 
"Browsing through these comfort food recipes was heartwarming! They triggered scenes from my childhood, complete with the sights and smells of food cooked or baked in the big coal-burning kitchen stove, foods that I later made for my own brood of kids… hearty and delicious and oh, so comforting."
    Nora Bitner
    Counselor, grandmother and mom
 
"With constant change in our daily lives, we seek comfort in those things which are basic, dependable and known. Comfort foods were often created from the readily available goods: beef, chicken, turkey, pork, cheese, warm sustaining breads, substantial puddings, the ever-available apple and, when an exotic import was required, chocolate. Isn't it natural that for comfort we should turn to the foods of our mothers and grandmothers. "You can't go home again" but sometimes it's nice to remember the kitchen."
