Nothing is more comforting than a home-cooked meal. And the best home cooking starts with fresh ingredients found close to home with foods that are local, seasonal, and organic. Raised in her grandmother’s Southern kitchen, Katie Lee Joel comes from a “family of great cooks and big eaters.” And she knows exactly what appeals to the home cook: recipes that are delicious, easy to follow, quick to prepare, and made with readily available seasonal ingredients.

In The Comfort Table, Katie dips into her archive of family recipes and updates all the classics from her childhood growing up in West Virginia, and also creates some inventive new favorites. This mouthwatering assortment of more than 125 recipes includes Southern staples like Fried Green Tomatoes, Chicken and Dumplings, Peach Cobbler, Meatloaf, and the quintessential Pulled Pork BBQ, which stand alongside contemporary classics like Roasted Carrot and Ginger Soup, Citrus-Tarragon Mahi-Mahi, and Dijon and Pistachio-Crusted Rack of Lamb.

I cannot see her becoming the next Rachel Ray, she just doesn’t come across with having the down th earth warm personality. Poor Billy seems like the puppet for the launch-usually nowhere to be found at any of her food venues.
She wants her own show, didn’t do well with Iron Chef what network will invest in this carboard,veritable uptown girl. Rachel is the girl from next store.
Let’s see how she does, time will tell!!
