Recipes adapted from True Comfort: More Than 100 Cozy Recipes Free of Gluten and Refined Sugar. Copyright © 2020 by Kristin Cavallari. Published by Rodale Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
WHEN YOU THINK OF COMFORT FOOD, “HEALTHY EATING” MAY NOT BE THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND. But Kristin Cavallari is determined to change that perception with her new cookbook, True Comfort: More Than 100 Cozy Recipes Free of Gluten and Refined Sugar. In it, the reality TV star, entrepreneur and mother of three has “health-ified” classic comfort dishes—and proven they can be just as tasty as the originals.
There’s no doubt Cavallari is a master of transformation and reinvention. Since her breakout role on The Hills ended in 2010, she’s forged a path of her own, which includes launching her fashion and lifestyle brand, Uncommon James, and penning a bestselling cookbook. In True Roots she revealed her passion for creating delicious meals with whole, fresh ingredients. Dieting is a don’t for Cavallari, who maintains her toned physique with regular resistance workouts (she’s a longtime fan of Pilates) and balanced meals. Off the menu: white flour, sugar and salt, and dairy from cow’s milk.
True Comfort takes Cavallari’s mission a step further, offering crowd-pleasing recipes (from light bites and family dinners to drinks and desserts) that meet her dietary needs. Referring to herself not as a chef, but as “a mom who loves to cook,” she says these meals are representative of how she and her family eat on a daily basis.
