Sure, burnt ends and toasted ravioli hold a special place in our hearts, but they merely scratch the surface of the Show- Me State’s vibrant culinary landscape. Here, fine dining rubs elbows with casual comfort food, farm-fresh ingredients find their way onto gourmet plates, global influences add a vibrant spice to the mix, and our wines, craft brews, and spirits make perfect pairings. Whether you’re a lifelong Missourian or just passing through, the pages of the Missouri Comfort cookbook will inspire you to try new things in your kitchen, dive deeper into the state’s food culture, and hit the road to sample the best of what Missouri offers in every region. Discover the significant food contributions of Indigineous Peoples, enslaved people of African descent, and immigrants from France, Germany, and Ireland. Dig into soulful country dishes, juicy steaks and pork chops, Cajun and Creole delights, and Missouri specialties like Springfield’s cashew chicken, St. Louis’s gooey butter cake, and, of course, all things barbecue, honoring our variety of styles from Kansas City to St. Louis and in the Ozarks.
Join Chef Mathew Unger and travel and food writer Porcshe Moran Murphy on a delicious statewide adventure filled with recipes, stories, and recommendations for top places to eat and drink. This appetizing exploration traverses history and the present day, from bustling urban centers and energetic college towns to charming villages and everywhere in between. Hardcover, 188 pages.
