We took everyday comfort foods like mac and cheese, grilled cheese, potatoes au gratin, casseroles and mini pizzas and went to the Culinary Institute of America and talked to them about how to choose the right cheeses and put twists on these regular everyday comfort foods and turn them into Comfort Cuisine.
It does not say that comfort foods are not enjoyable, but rather that we don't seem to seek them out when we think we do.
