Who doesn’t love comfort food?
Today, we speak the universal language of comfort food whether it's American classics, multicultural favorites, or even "mash-ups" of different types.
A popular food blogger and cookbook author joins us to talk about his take on comfort food and what makes it, well, so comforting.
Listeners also share their takes on cozy recipes, including Maria who provided changua, a Colombian soup recipe her mother taught her, and Mary tackling our expert’s lasagna tampino recipe, 10 years after she found it.
Guest:
Dan Whalen
- Creator of the popular recipe blog The Food in my Beard
- Author of several cookbooks, including Stuffed: The Ultimate Comfort Food Cookbook
- And his new book is Nachos For Dinner: Surprising Sheet Pan Meals the Whole Family Will Love, coming out in January.
Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.
