Why We Cook by Lindsay Gardner - What do you think of as comforting or healing food?

 

Question of the day. What do you think of as comforting or healing food? 

My go to comforting food is Japanese fried rice. I don't make it too often anymore since it's only me. It's something we have almost every morning when my family gets together at the beach house. Great way to use up all the leftovers (if there are any) from the dinner the night before. Everyone likes it no matter who makes it or what's in it. 

My healing food has to be honey and lemon. Lemons pretty much grow year round here in California so access is easy. The honey is local too as a good friend is a bee keeper. She has a lovely garden with chickens and bee hives. When I'm really sick I ask for the dark fall honey. It has more of the good stuff as the bees had more access to a big variety of plants. It has a stronger taste so not for everyone.
