Comfort Food

It’s hard to imagine any connection between a falling Dow Jones and food habits, but in the early 1990s, when the stock market took a dive, people headed for their kitchens and neighborhood restaurants and found consolation in comfort food. Chefs who had built their reputations serving rack of lamb and flourless cakes did a culinary about-face and started making family-style meatloaf, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. In some instances, they dressed up their recipes with fresh herbs or flavored oils, but macaroni and cheese, even if sprinkled with Parmigiano-Reggiano and served in porcelain casseroles, is still comfort food.
