Comfort food

[1]Whenever I feel lonely，I have a secret recipe that never fails：rice，milk and sugar，cooked low and slow. [2]No matter how bad my mood is, that perfect combination① is always enough to lift my spirits. Sometimes the smell alone can do the trick②，not to mention③ the lovely creamy flavour, [3]which works like a time machine④ immediately transporting me back to my sunny childhood. With pleasure, I remember the lazy Sunday afternoons I used to spend in the warmth of my grandma's flat, listening to her wonderful stories and greedily⑤ eating bowl after bowl of her delicious rice pudding. [4]I take my time over⑥ every spoonful, gently⑦ rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage⑧ of rice and milk. Before I know it, I'm happy again.

[1]本句中Whenever引导让步状语从句；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词recipe。

[2]本句中No matter how引导让步状语从句，主句的主语是that perfect combination。

[3]此处为which引导非限制性定语从句。

 

[4]本句中“gently rolling the silky dessert around my mouth and enjoying the perfect marriage of rice and milk”是动词-ing 形式作状语。

 

My experience with rice pudding illustrates⑨ the unique power of “comfort food”. In its broadest sense, comfort food refers to any food that makes us feel better. [5]In this article, we will talk about a particular type of comfort food whose power mainly lies in the associations⑩ it calls to mind. It often makes up for⑪  bad feelings by helping us recall happy memories of the people, things or places we love.

[5]本句是一个复合句，句中whose引导定语从句，修饰先行词food；在whose引导的定语从句中it calls to mind是省略了关系词的定语从句，修饰先行词associations。

 

Our comfort foods are highly individual. [6]They vary⑫ from person to person,
