Comfort Food and Easy Entertaining

As a private chef, caterer and cooking instructor I am often asked "What do you enjoy cooking when you're at home on a weeknight or entertaining guests at your table?" I started this blog to answer that question. Here I will share with all of you the recipes that I find delicious and comforting. Many of the recipes are my own versions of classic dishes, some are contemporary twists on old ideas, and some are discoveries I made while perusing my grandmother’s vast collection of cookbooks dating back to the early 1900’s. Please enjoy these videos. I have also included links to some of the published articles I have written recently. Please feel free to comment here or email me directly with any questions, comments or general thoughts. My email address and information on my catering, private chef and private cooking classes can be found on my website: www.portlandcomfortfood.com

Love your blog and videos.

Your chicken stock looks wonderful but you might wish to try this variation some day. http://inventingtheuniverse.blogspot.com/2010/04/brown-poultry-stock.html

Roasting the chicken parts and vegetables in the oven takes a bit longer, but requires less "hands-on" time (plus no grease spatters to clean). The roasting gives the stock a lovely brown color and deep flavor.
