We all love a good serving (or two, or three…) of homemade comfort food, but many recipes for hearty, flavour-packed dishes can take time and effort.

With recipes organised according to cooking method – from cooking pot to roasting dish, to air fryer to cake tin – plus an entire chapter dedicated to all things chocolate, this book has everything you need for when you’re craving something comforting, delicious, and above all, quick and easy to make.
To give you a sneak preview of what you can find inside, we’ve picked 10 of our favourite recipes from this joyful, comforting book. The first 3 are fully available to cook now, and the remaining 7 will give you a taste of what to expect when you add Quick Comforts to your cookbook collection.
