Carla's Comfort Foods: Favorite Dishes from Around the World

I Love Carla on the Chew. She is fun and has tons of personality. It is a wonder she not only likes to express herself with her fun outfits, but through her food as well. She gives food a personality. That might sound strange, but its true. The personality is expressed through different spices and ingredients blending together to create a fusion of flavors. Sometimes we may not think to combine certain spices & ingredients like experienced chefs do. Yet, it works, and often really surprisingly good The photos of the food look inviting, too. I almost passed on getting this book because I saw not so good reviews on another site. However, I decided to literally not judge the book by its cover, or in this case reviews. I decided that I liked Carla from the Chew, as I do the other chefs. I thought I'm going to buy the book anyway because I like Carla. I like what she makes on the Chew most of the time. I am capable of making my own decisions. I got the book yesterday from Amazon, and I enjoyed it. Personally, I loved it, enjoyed it, and would try a lot of these recipes. Sure, there are some maybe I would not make, or might even tweak it, but that is ok. When we buy other cookbooks, we do not often use all the recipes. Just like when we buy a CD, we may skip a couple songs while we like the rest of the album. That is what is fun with cooking because you can be creative by adding, or taking out certain ingredients if you really do not like the. The recipes merely gives us ideas. You can follow it, or get creative. She says many times in the book she likes to relate to people through food because who does not love food. That is true. Today, we are always in a hurry, and some of us might resort to fast food. Yet, why not eat like people did back in the day. Take the time to sit down together, eat together, share stories together, and enjoy a meal together, and create a memory. If we ate at home more, we would be healthier, our families would be healthier, and happier because we know we are getting real food. My Mom always cooked, and I appreciated that. So, I Love food, vegies, fruit, spices, cooking, and I eat at home. I would recommend this book.

I LOVE this book! NormalIngredients, excellent recipes! I’ve made several. Highly recommend it.

Her recipes are diverse and clearly written. I respect her skills and wanted to have a cookbook where the recipes were eclectic. This fit the bill.

As the owner of an Indian meal kit delivery service (tiffintrove.com), I am usually skeptical when people put new twists on old Indian recipes.Carla Hall will NOT disappoint. She has some marvelous new twists on classic recipes, like an Indian nectarine chutney. And it's not just Indian: she takes basic ingredients and transforms them into dishes from around the world: Italian, Irish, Thai, French, Greek, Moroccan, and of course All American. If you can only have one cookbook in your life, this is it.I wish Carla Hall was my momma from another poppa bc I would love to eat this woman's home cooking. Even my niminy piminy children find these recipes appealing. Though my son drew a skull and crossbones over the peas on page 19, they can't wait to help make the peach cobbler and are excited about trying her other recipes.

Okay. I enjoyed a couple of the recipes.

Fast shipping. can't wait to add to my cookbook collection.

There are a lot of easy recipes.

Used book was in pretty decent shape.
