Slow Cooking for Comfort

When Autumn days grow shorter, I get really hungry - and I’m nearly always hungry - especially for food that seems to warm my body and bring some comfort and coziness against the winter chill knocking on my door.

There’s no better time to dive into the heartwarming world of comfort food, and what better way to do so than with a trusty slow cooker by your side? The trusty Crockpot, the trademark slow cooker that seemed to invade everyone’s kitchen, not only has an interesting American origin story but also plays a considerable role in fostering a taste for comfort foods.
