What is Comfort Food?
Comfort food is that nostalgic dish that brings you back to being a child and knowing everything will be okay. It warms you up when you are cold, comforts you when you are down, and brings back a flood of memories. The smells that fill the house make you instantly think of coming home from school and knowing there is going to be a delicious meal on the table tonight.
They are a traditional recipe passed down from generation to generation. One you may miss out on if you have food allergies or intolerances. We carefully adapted our family's favourite comfort food recipes to be gluten-free, dairy-free, and free from the top 9 food allergens but still have every ounce of deliciousness like mum's dinners.

Food Allergy Notes
Allergy Note 1
Always check that each ingredient is safe for you. Reading all the ingredients and labelling as well as checking with the manufacturer should always be done before buying any product. Each person's allergies are different and only you and your medical team can determine what is best for you. Checking with the manufacturer is best practice to see if shared lines, or facilities are used when making any of the suggested products. Just because a product is right for us does not mean it is safe for anyone else. You must do your own research on each product.
Allergy Note 2
If making this recipe for anyone with an allergy always check with them for suitable products and ingredients. Each person knows their allergies best and can advise on what is safe for them to eat. Keep in mind that if making for another person they may not be able to eat it with shared prep surfaces, cooking equipment, and kitchens or other safety reasons.
Allergy Note 3
This is not medical advice. Always discuss your allergies, nutrition, and suitable products and recipes with your medical team before using.
