Comfort Food: with Spencer Watts by Spencer Watts Chef Spencer Watts takes the very best of classic comfort food dishes and adds globally influenced flavours to make each dish new again.

This new approach to comfort foods includes something for every kind of cook — some recipes are easy to follow, some more ambitious — all are delicious! Using readily available ingredients, Spencer Watts takes an imaginative approach to appetizers, bowls, main dishes, desserts and more! Recipes include Ham Hock and Pea Risotto, Wild Mushroom Soup, Caramel Popcorn Cake, Greek Style White Bean Ragu and more!
