The Foods That Feel Like Home to Me


What are your favorite types of foods?

I love food that feels like comfort,warm, flavorful, and a little nostalgic. Creamy pastas, seasoned rice dishes, roasted veggies, and soups that make the whole kitchen smell like home.

Plantain is definitely at the top of my list. Fried, baked, soft, crispy. I don’t think there’s a version I don’t love. It reminds me of home, family gatherings, and the kind of meals that bring people together.

I’m drawn to dishes that are simple but rich in flavor. A good curry. Baked salmon with lemon and garlic. Jollof rice, hands down. And on a rainy day? A big bowl of pho or squash soup always hits the spot.

More than anything, I enjoy meals that feel intentional. Whether it’s something I cook or a little treat I pick up, it’s not about fancy. it’s about how it makes me feel. Nourished, satisfied, and cozy.

So now I’m asking you, what are your favorite types of foods? And what does comfort taste like to you?
