COMFORT FOOD

6/12/2019

Why do we find some foods so much more comforting than others? Comfort foods tend to be high sugar, high carbohydrate foods. Sometimes it’s a food associated with childhood. When cooking these sorts of things, I normally prefer to find a less sugar dense version of a favourite comfort food.

This 👆is wintery pear crumble with festive pomegranate topping, I used a naturally sweet fruit, 30% less sweetener than the recipe called for and it still tasted deeeeeeliiiiccciooous. Also adding some true cinnamon elevates the sweetness and making it smell and taste even better. Perfect seasonal comfort food to welcome in December and the start of the winter months.
