What defines Comfort Food in today’s environment? Will it become the fine dining cuisine of the future? Comfort food is food that provides a nostalgic or sentimental value to someone, and may sometimes be characterized by its satisfying or simple preparation. The nostalgia may be specific to an individual, or it may apply to a specific culture. Adults, when under severe emotional stress, turn to what could be called ‘comfort food’—food associated with the security of childhood, like mother’s poached egg, a noodle dish, or chicken soup. Soups, stews, braises, casseroles, chocolate and ice cream are some examples of go-to foods to make you feel cozy, warm, calm, comfortable, sated and just content. Newer, and perceptually more higher end methods and ingredients have been redefining “comfort food” for decades.

Is there anything more satisfying than a seasonal fruit dessert? Chef Fran loves to eat fresh fruit out of hand but you’ll find her baking, roasting, poaching, even pickling her market fresh produce. As she’s been tending her terrace herb garden this summer, you’ll find thyme, rosemary, basil in the mix in addition to the ubiquitous mint. Bring your favorites to share and your questions too.
