If someone is going to give us an excuse to eat comfort food – we’ll take it!  And coming from Nigella Lawson, it’s sure to taste good.

The celebrity chef was featured on NPR’s Morning Edition today, sharing her advice for cold winter temps.  The secret to staying warm, she says, is to indulge oneself on a comfort food or two and not let guilty thoughts ruin the experience.  After all, what good is consuming your daily caloric intake in one meal if you don’t fully enjoy the experience?

Her recipe for cheddar risotto – a dish sure to warm the soul – caught our eye.  Also featured, doughnut french toast.
