I really enjoyed Country Comfort by Hari Beavis and am looking forward to trying out her recipes in the future.

A very beautiful cooking book, which gives off the cozy, comfort vibes. All the recipes sound so good and I will totally make some of them, especially the hug-in-a-bowl beef strogonoff.

Country Comfort is a lovely cook and lifestyle book about country living and food. It is divided into three main sections with recipes of three degrees (of time/difficulties). This book offers a nuanced and niche approach and I liked that recipes were of different comfort levels for the cook.
The photos are appetising and inspiring. The overall moods is chic. And the listing of the alternative ingredients is a wonderful idea.

This is a very bougie cookbook that will be a big hit with many. There are beautiful photos for most of the recipes, but no nutritional information. It is divided into recipes that take 10, 20 and 30 minutes (supposedly) and desserts. The recipes tend to call for very high end ingredients— truffle oil, lamb, red Leicester cheese, prawns, etc. It is rather heavy on wheat, dairy and meat, making it less fitting for some dietary needs. It wasn’t a good fit for me but the recipes sounded delicious.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is such a cozy recipe book, the layout is well done and there's a wide range of options that feel really rustic and comforting. The pictures were really nice, very clear and aesthetic, they fit the theme while also showing exactly what your food should look like. The recipes seem to be easy enough to follow and I can't wait to try some

Country Comforts is a beautiful and thoughtful cookbook brimming with recipes that range from rustic to elaborate. I really enjoy the range as it allows readers to enter into Beavis's cooking wherever they feel comfortable.
