Not only did this book make me incredibly hungry for a veritable buffet of beige (god bless British tapas), but I tripped and fell enough to subscribe to Grace's podcast and become even more convinced that Cadbury Dairy Milk, Tayto Crisps and Guinness may be the meal of of the Gods. So grab a plate and pull up a unfussy, honest and filled to the brim with heartwarming personal stories and comfort food tales, Comfort Eating is the perfect treat for food lovers everywhere. She talks to Laura Whitmore about her childhood in Ireland, being a young journalist in London, Love Island, and the comfort foods that have.

We all know Graham from his work interviewing megastars on his chatshow, as well as his much loved radio.

He tells Grace about growing up as one of seven, coping with stage fright through booze, learning to be comfortable in restaurants in his 40s,. She regularly appears on MasterChef UK and she presents Best of Britain by the Sea with Ainsley Harriott. When she's not writing comedy Grace is to be found 'faffing about on the Internet' or 'faffing about in the garden or kitchen' or 'just 'faffing about generally.The ‘recipes’ she details in the book come from people she has fatted n her Comfort Eating podcast - a podcast which I shall be subscribing to ASAP. Cha Cha Cha-ing her way into Grace’s house this week is comedian and one of this year’s stars of Strictly Come Dancing, Jayde Adams.

Grace meets former athlete and current House of Lords peer Tanni Grey-Thompson, who introduces her to a snack less highbrow than you might expect. She and Grace remember the 90s London club scene, discuss the perils of having a fitness DVD, and how being. She joins Grace to discuss the perils of snacking while breastfeeding, the dangers of fizzy paté, and the importance of dining out alone. If i were to find criticism with the book it would be that at times some bits felt like filler (such as the recipe sections) and I'd have liked a bit more depth such as coverage of a bit more than the stereotypical sub-headings of bread, pasta, potato etc. One of those things where someone is writing about things that are very specific to them, but also universal in that everyone has their own version of what she's writing about, foods and memories that are intertwined and comfort you, or take you immediately back to a certain time.Exploring her go-to comfort foods through a series of joyous encounters, Grace reflects on the memories they uncover and pays tribute to her parents, the people who taught her what comfort eating truly means. Grace’s guest on Comfort Eating this week is one of the most famous faces on Channel 4 News for more than 20 years, Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Season three is ending with a bang, as Eastenders actor and all-round hun Natalie Cassidy pops over for a chat.
