Author Talk & Q & A

It’s comfort food—redefined! From New York Times bestselling author and founder of The Defined Dish comes a wholesome cookbook with healthy meals the whole family can enjoy, night after night!

“Snodgrass puts a modern spin on comfort food in this versatile collection of nourishing dishes that never fall short on flavor. . . . This is perfect for busy home cooks who want to expand their repertoire of healthy recipes.”—Publishers Weekly

“The Comfortable Kitchen is your new go-to for healthy eating inspiration, with meals full of warm flavors, simply delicious ingredient combinations, and wholesome treats.”
—Melissa Urban, Whole30 cofounder and CEO

For Alex Snodgrass, New York Times bestselling author of The Defined Dish, bringing her family around the table to share a home-cooked meal is a favorite way to show love. Her intention with THE COMFORTABLE KITCHEN is to bring you into her kitchen, in the hope that she can bring a little more comfort into yours. And you’ll feel comfortable knowing that you’re caring for your family’s health with each bite.

Alex brings back the joy of being in the kitchen for those at all levels of cooking skill and provides food for every occasion, with soups, salads, pasta, vegetarian and non-vegetarian mains, apps, and sides ranging from one-pot meals to not-so-junky junk food—and even cocktails and desserts. For those who have dietary restrictions, Alex clearly marks each recipe as gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and paleo, as appropriate. In addition, many of her meals are easily Whole30 compatible, and plenty of recipes offer simple, flexible ingredient swaps for a better-for-you meal when desired. Recipes include:
• Cajun Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
• Green Curry Poached Halibut with Herbs
• Texas Style Brisket Tacos
• Herby Green Olive Pasta with Feta
• Sheet Pan Honey-Sesame Cauliflower
• Clayton’s Margarita
• 7-Ingredient Almond Butter Cookies
With 105 approachable and nutritious recipes for real, busy life, THE COMFORTABLE KITCHEN is a must-have cookbook for everyone who cares about what they eat and what they make.
