Besides chocolate, my favourite comfort food is potato and leek soup, especially on a cold winters evening. It’s my favourite comfort food because my grandmother used to make it for me when I was sick. So whenever it’s cold, raining and I’ve had a bad day, I’ll turn on the stove, open a can and have some soup while wrapped around in blankets watching TV. – Riley Naidu
