Comfort food recipes from all over the world
Comfort food recipes are currently very popular. Our recipes that fall into this category are currently among the most popular posts on the blog. Therefore I would like to present them to you at this point. Besides that there is Wellbeing recipes in the world from other food bloggers. International Comfort Food makes this trend even more interesting.
What is comfort food anyway? The term comes from English, but is also common in Germany. According to Wikipedia, comfort food is food that reminds you of childhood. Nostalgia is one factor that makes food feel good. The news is less good for those who like to live healthily. Because comfort food is hearty with a high number of calories and lots of carbohydrates. However, one also counts dishes that easy to prepare are. Homemade cooking, as we know it from grandma, is definitely one of them.
It gets exciting when you are looking for comfort food from other cultures. There, too, there are dishes that are fondly remembered. That convey a feeling of wellbeing that is reminiscent of childhood. Such recipes are easy to prepare at home if the ingredients are available. We have already presented some on our blog.
International comfort food
From Austria
We are often out and about in Austria. Kaiserschmarrn is definitely a comfort food there. We even have several recipes for it, including a variant from Bavaria that is surprising. Click here for the recipes.
From the USA and Canada
In the USA and Canada, the First Nations provide a type of comfort food that we now like to prepare at home. Navajo Fry Bread is easy to bake. It tastes good with both sweet and savory ingredients. You can find it here Recepies.
From Thuringia
My comfort food is potato dumplings with roulades. I've loved them since childhood. For me, it's a holiday meal for us - and a Sunday meal, too. Here you can find a recipe for Thuringian dumplings.
From South Africa
A comfort food recipe that I brought back from my trips to South Africa is Bobotie. The minced meat dish is mainly eaten there by the Cape Malays. I always looked forward to it when I came to Cape Town. Here is the Recepies.
From France
I connect with that Recipe for rillettes from the duck memories of Canada. But actually the recipe for it comes from France. Where it comes from is secondary, however, because it is definitely comfort food that makes my mouth water. You can find the recipe for it here.
