Cooking For Comfort

How can you get more flavor in your cooking?

I talk on my podcast about developing flavor in our meals. Restaurant chefs seem to make the same dishes seem just a bit more flavorful. They aren’t using deep secrets, just letting flavors develop.

My cookbook, Cooking For Comfort, shares many of the basic tips that chefs use to build layers of flavor.

Here is the Kindle version of my cookbook, Cooking For Comfort: One pot meals you can make.

It is a collection of easy to read and follow recipes with procedures to help you improve your cooking skills to build flavor. Flavor is one of the main reasons we love eating. By taking the basic skills from these recipes and branching out to more foods, you’ll start to develop deeper flavors in the rest of your cooking.

Cooking For Comfort is a lot of soup recipes. Soup cooking is a good way to learn to build flavors. The high heat of sauteeing brings out flavors. But, like everything, the how is important. There is a time and procedure for adding the next ingredients.

Kids can learn to cook, too.

Getting kids in the kitchen builds their confidence that they can cook. Cooking, following recipes, also builds the skills of following directions, precision in measuring, the order of operations, organization-chefs call that mise en place, patience and delayed gratification, and cleaning up.

Soup cooking starts with building flavor by cooking the vegetables and meat in the same pan. Those layers of flavor in the pan are yummy on the tongue. The same skills of browning to make soups have deeper flavor apply to making better tasting pasta dishes or even vegetarian dishes.

It’s not just soups

Good cooking skills include roasting and braising. Cooking For Comfort has some roasting dishes, chicken and turkey, as well as a meatloaf. For pork rib fans, there is an excellent recipe for ribs. Talk about comfort food.

Each recipe indicates if it is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or meatatarian.

Many of the carnivore-meatatarian-dishes can omit the protein or add seitan or tofu. Flavor building principles apply as well in vegetarian or vegan cooking.
