Usually, the cookbooks I buy are health-conscious, and often, they are largely vegetarian. While I love sugar and fat, most often I find the food that my body craves is greener in color. But sometimes, the day just calls for an ooey-gooey grilled cheese, a cream-laden soup or a buttery cake. Melissa Clark’s In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite is a cookbook for exactly those days.
Lucky for you all, we have one copy to giveaway. Just tell us about your favorite comfort foods in the comments by midnight on Friday.

Hands down — the mac n’ cheese at Dumont. There is nothing better.
Mashed potato, there is nothing better!
I second the Mac N Cheese, but homemade is best. I love it with sharp cheddar, and jalepenos and finished under the broiler for a few moments.
Best comfort food is the grilled cheese with apples at Henry’s Public in Boerum Hill. Part of the comforting part is not having to make it myself!
No way on the fancy Mac N Cheese — Kraft Dinner is the only one for me!
I love a big bowl of creamy tomato soup. I like to top it with a dollop of creme freche and a squeeze of lemon.
Thanksgiving leftovers — the ultimate sandwich with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.
As cliche as it sounds, my grandmother makes a phenomenal chicken soup. She puts a little nutmeg in it for a little something special.
