Welcome to the FIRST #CookBlogShare of 2021 with Lavender & Lovage. This week I am highlighting some wonderful Comfort Food Recipes from the last Cook Blog Share of 2020.
Welcome to the FIRST Cook Blog Share of the New Year. And, it’s a BIG hello from me as one of your new hosts. Sisley from Sew White is your other new host, and she will be in the driving seat next week on Tuesday the 19th January 2021. And, we also have the very capable and lovely Chloe over at Feast Glorious Feast who is helping with the Cook Blog Share Facebook Page too.
With a HUGE thanks to Jacquie, Lesley and Michelle, who set up and have hosted Cook Blog Share for the last few years, and for all their help when passing on the baton to myself and Sisley.
Cook Blog Share is a wonderful way to share your recipes, as well as make new friends and nurture old friendships too. I hope you will all join in with our FIRST Cook Blog Share of 2021, as well as throughout the rest of the year as well.
Jacqui hosted the last one of 2020, and you can see her wonderful round up of her favourite recipes here: BEST OF #COOKBLOGSHARE 2020
I’ve kicked off 2021 with four of my favourite recipes from the last Cook Blog Share, all of them Comfort Food Recipes. I am sure, like me, you are all enjoying the best of wintertime, with stews, pies, soups and casseroles, as well as baking too. I know I have been making lots of pies and puddings, which have gone down very well here at Chez Lavender & Lovage.
Sisley and I are also looking for people to host #CookBlogShare, which is great fun and will bring lots of traffic to your blogs and websites. So, if you fancy hosting one week, please contact me here: Email me

I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN COOKING and BAKING this week!
Some lovely recipes – I can’t wait to try the sausage and onion pie – that looks right up my street!!!!
Thanks so much Veronica, it is just the best comfort food, so tasty and filling, as well as being pretty light on the ££’s too! Karen
Happy New Year and congratulations on your first #CookBlogShare linky, bet t5his feels odd to do a linky after all these years? Love the comfort foods you’ve added to your round up – we’re still surviving on leftover pie here hahaha
Thanks so much Rebecca, it is strange to start a linky party after all these years! I ran and hosted Tea Time Treats and Herbs on Saturday for many years, but not in the last 4/5 years!
THANK YOU so much for your entry into #CookBlogShare this week 🙂
Karen
All of these look delicious, especially the veggie plait!
Thanks so much Carrie 🙂 Karen
I’m really looking forward to getting involved in Cook Blog Share this year, having only taken part a couple of times before. Your jam and coconut sponge with pink custard looks so dreamy. That was always one of my favourite school dinner desserts. Seconds, please! 😀
Thanks Kacie, I used to host a couple of linky parties back in the day, but not for years now, so I’m looking forward to hosting #CookBogShare 🙂
Thanks for your entries too!
Karen
A fabulous round-up, and so many great comfort food recipes. Look forward to connecting again through CBS.
Thanks so much Janice and thank you for adding your chocolate cake too! Karen
What a great round up, comfort food is very much where I am right now as it’s so cold outside. Your jam and coconut sponge jumped right out of the page at me, I really love a proper pudding.
Thanks so much Lesley – I love that jam and coconut sponge, it’s proper comfort food! Karen
Lovely to have you hosting a linkie once again Karen. It’s like old times.

Aw, thank you so much for including my turkey pie in your roundup! And – oh my – that jam and coconut sponge is a thing of beauty – takes me right back to my childhood! Eb 🙂
Thanks so much Eb! You probably know that I am a pie addict, so I had to add your lovely looking pie! Karen
Hello, this is my first time joining your cook-blog-share. Thank you for having me.
I love seeing all those British comfort foods – I lived in the UK for 20 years before coming back last year. As I cannot travel back, I appreciate all those delicious recipes.
You are VERY welcome Marita and thanks so much for joining in too! 🙂 Karen
Thanks for hosting Karen! I always try to join in when I can. I love the comfort food recipes you’ve picked – that jam and coconut sponge definitely brings back childhood memories!
