Comfort Food is a television programme presented as a single episode that focuses on the notion of comfort food. The show is built around the simple idea of cooking dishes that provide a sense of warmth and satisfaction, and it follows a straightforward format that centres on the hosts’ culinary activities. In this episode, presenters Si King and Dave Myers set out to examine what makes a dish comforting. They take a hands‑on approach, preparing a classic rice pudding while also sharing the foods they personally regard as comforting. Their exploration is confined to the preparation and presentation of these particular recipes. The pair begins with the rice pudding, guiding viewers through each step of the process. They measure the ingredients, stir the mixture, and allow it to cook to the right consistency, demonstrating how a humble dessert can become a comforting staple when made with care. After the pudding, Si and Dave turn their attention to two of their favourite savoury options: stuffed cabbage leaves and a flat‑rib broth. They assemble the cabbage rolls, fill them with a seasoned mixture, and simmer a broth made from flat ribs, showcasing the flavours and textures that define their own ideas of comfort food.
