In most parts of the world autumn brings rain and the first chilly days. Whether snuggled up at home, dining out at a restaurant or joining the family for a traditional Sunday lunch, “comfort food” is the protagonist of this new-found intimacy. These ever popular piping hot dishes that granny used to make, passed down from mother to daughter, make us feel at home even when we are thousands of kilometres away. Foods that reassure and console also help combat stress. Scientific research confirms that a particular recipe or the recollection of flavours and aromas from our past contribute to conferring a sensation of wellbeing. Besides, these dishes, so closely associated with tradition and local cuisine, can vary considerably from one part of the world to another. In brief, according to the social networks, November is the time for #comfortfood.
Gomoku chahan, Japanese fried rice, is a classical remedy for those searching solace from food:
