This is one of the first recipes Garten shared from Modern Comfort Food. Actor Emily Blunt’s take on English Roasted Potatoes looks like the ideal fall side dish.
Fig Jam & Cheese Toasts

If you need a swanky snack that pairs perfectly with rich fall reds like Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, look no further than Garten’s sweet, tangy, and creamy fig jam and goat cheese crostini.
Hot Spiced Apple Cider
Sneak Peek! Hot Spiced Apple Cider – with good bourbon! – from my new cookbook Modern Comfort Food is the perfect drink to warm everyone up when you’re having socially distant cocktails outside on a chilly night. (Of course, it’s delicious without bourbon, too!) Have fun and stay safe!! Link to recipe in my profile. #moderncomfortfood #treatyourself

Nothing warms you from the inside out like a glass of hot spiced apple cider, and Garten’s recipe (with bourbon!) will certainly keep off the chill of fall.
Waffle Iron Hash Browns
Waffle Iron Hash Browns are the easiest and most delicious hash browns you’ll ever make. They’re really crispy on the outside and creamy inside – and the best part is no splatters on the stove! Recipe link in profile! #moderncomfortfood #sneakpeek 📸: @quentinbaconphoto

Garten’s secret to perfectly crispy hashbrowns? Make them in the waffle iron, of course!
Roasted Broccolini With Melted Cheddar
Roasted Broccolini with melted cheddar has to be the easiest and most delicious side dish I’ve ever made! Recipe link in profile. #moderncomfortfood

You’ll be gobbling up your veggies when you try this recipe. Broccolini is roasted until the florets get crispy, then cheddar cheese is melted over the top for good measure.
We’re convinced that Modern Comfort Food is the cookbook that’s going to make our fall as tasty as can be.
