So handy: People share their favorite quickest, simplest comfort food hacks
I have a decent repertoire of simple, delicious dishes that can be on the table in no time. But after a while, even those start to get boring. A cookbook can help, but drawing from other people’s repertoires helps even more.
Long live the Twitter thread by British food journalist Jack Monroe. Monroe campaigns against poverty and hunger and has written several cookbooks filled with budget recipes. She (yes, she’s a woman) asked her followers to share their favorite quick and simple comfort food and immediately shared her own tips too:

And that immediately leads to many more handy tips from other people. I’d say, make the most of them!
Mine is a tsp of tomato purée mixed with some mixed herbs spread on the untoasted side, then a tbsp of tuna mayo spread on top of that, then cheese, back under the grill, voila – pimped up pizza style tuna melt
