Comfort Food: Amazing Friends and the Everyday Stories That Happen Around Friendship is a collection of personal essays about friendship and the foods that brought us together. The book identifies five kinds of friends and is separated into five sections, each one corresponding to one of the five friends and the course of a five-course meal that corresponds to that friend. The friend whom we turn to for encouragement is the appetizer course; the younger and knowledgeable friend who brings vitality and fresh perspectives into our lives is the salad course; the friend who is there to anchor us in times of uncertainty is the entree course; our older, wiser source of wisdom flowing into our lives is the beverage course and the friend whom we turn to when we want to kick back and have sweet fun times finishes our meal as our dessert course. When these friends bring it all together, we enjoy the banquet of life.
