Comfort food is what you want when you come in from the cold, when you’ve got a cold, when you want to have an intimate conversation, when you want to get your kids settled down, your husband comforted, or your mom welcomed. It is the coziest macaroni & cheese, the crispiest chocolate chip cookie, the perfect pot roast, and that lemon meringue pie you have never dared to make. Collecting these basic, foolproof recipes from real kitchens and from real people was Welcome’s objective when publisher Lena Tabori and her daughters, senior editor Katrina Fried and managing editor Natasha Tabori Fried, set out to make this book. With the belief that comfort food is, by its very nature, food that has been passed down through generations, it seemed appropriate to reach out to friends and family across the country.
