There’s something about comfort food that just sets the world to rights – creamy sauces, hearty stews, golden toppings. But this round-up proves that cosy doesn’t have to mean carb-laden or veg-free.
Here, the classics you crave are given a fresh twist, with leafy greens, beans and bold flavours sneaking their way into every bowl. Think a smoky Mexican casserole bulked out with kale and black beans, a miso-glazed salmon that pairs perfectly with crisped-up greens or a fragrant Thai-inspired chicken and cavolo nero soup that’s light yet deeply satisfying.
