About Chef Derek Bennett
Your go-to guy for cheesy, creamy, soul-hugging comfort food
Welcome to ComfortFoodDaily.com, your cozy corner on the internet for rich, cheesy, and heartwarming comfort food recipes made by a real American home cook. I’m Chef Derek Bennett, and I’m here to bring you the kind of food that hugs you back.
Who Is Chef Derek Bennett?
I’m not a Michelin-star chef — I’m a small-town guy who grew up in a family where food meant everything. Sunday dinners, potlucks, late-night grilled cheese sessions — those moments weren’t just about eating; they were about connection, tradition, and love.
I created ComfortFoodDaily to share my favorite comfort food recipes and the stories behind them. From creamy casseroles and one-pot pasta dishes to family-style meals made with simple ingredients, I believe in real food for real life — cheesy, hearty, and always full of flavor.
You’ll find that many of my dishes are inspired by what I grew up eating, or what someone I love once made. If it’s rich, cozy, and made from scratch, it belongs here.

❤️ Why I Do What I Do
Food is more than flavor — it’s about connection. I started ComfortFoodDaily.com not just to share recipes, but to bring back that warm, familiar feeling we all get when we take the first bite of something nostalgic. I’m here to make sure that even if you’re far from home or cooking for one, you still have a place where the oven’s warm and the food feels like a hug.
So pull up a chair, grab your favorite fork, and let’s make every day a comfort food kind of day.
