The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever Review

The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a big book. The last recipie is on page 609, so there are lots to choose from. There is a wide range of choice, from appetizers to desserts, with more chapters on breads, side-dishes, "for crowds", "for two", and "for kids". Just browsing through, many sound delicious. The ones I have made were indeed very tasty. Ms. Ojakangas uses few prepared ingredients, and includes a recipie section of easy sauces to substitute for canned cream soups. One of the things I like best is that the author is health aware. The recipies are light on sodium, and many are light on fat. I plan to make a lot of these, and am looking forward to working my way through this book.

A good cook once said that a casserole is a blend of inspiration and what's on hand. Beatrice Ojakangas must have had inspiration by the gallon to come up with these 500 casseroles. From a breakfast of Eggs Florentine to a dinner of Pork Chops with Apple Stuffing, soon even the most casserole-wary cook will be dishing about these delights. Yummy treats like Parmesan and Sun-Dried Tomato Quiche and Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp are just right for parties. Even appetizers are reinvented in casserole form! The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever will inspire comforting dishes and innovative feasts for any meal of the dayno matter what's in the fridge.

Light Desserts Review

I picked this book at the local library. The book was published in the late 1980's. I have a hard time (in 2001) with finding a sensible cookbook with recipes that I will actually consider making. Furthermore, the book also contains concise and clear cooking basics such as various pie crusts, sauces, and techniques. I was also impressed with the helpful charts and beautiful photography. The author, Beatrice Ojakangas, seems like a sharp lady who really knows her food. Just reading the back flap tells me enough. This cookbook is the best I have seen so far in my third year of culinary exploration.

Fantastic chocolate recipes! Some recipes are just right to drink in the morning instead of coffee. Others are richer and desserty.
The pictures are beautiful. The writing style is fun. This is a great gift book. Just be sure you get one for yourself too.
I loved the copy I bought so much that I am buying this book for everyone for Christmas to give with a coffee mug and a great quality chocolate bar. On the card I am going to say, something nutty like "for my sweet or hot friend" (as appropriate)
