This is the Guardian.

I'm Grace Dent and this is Comfort Eating from The Guardian.

A podcast where we pay homage to the lesser celebrated foods in life.

Because even as a restaurant critic, I believe the food that matters most is often that snack you cobble together when you're curled upon the sofa. Each week I asked my guest to lift the lid on what comfort foods have seen them through their lives.
