The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook (Paperback)

Bake until Bubbly: The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook (Paperback)
250 recipes for casseroles of all types, including both breakfast and dessert dishes
Review
Wright, author of numerous cookbooks on the cuisines of the Mediterranean as well as Real Stew, here turns to another enduring comfort food. He presents 250 recipes for casseroles of all types, including both breakfast and dessert dishes (think crisps and crumbles). The recipes come from around the world and all across the United States. Along with beloved classics, some in updated, fresher versions, there are unusual recipes that will be unfamiliar to many readers. The headnotes provide history and context, and most of them offer serving suggestions; there are also ideas for leftovers (if there are any!). With its informative, readable text and tasty recipes, this is highly recommended. (Library Journal, February 15, 2008)

Customer Review`Bake Until Bubbly' by distinguished culinary writer and teacher, Clifford A. Wright is billed as `The Ultimate Casserole Cookbook', which is a figurative sticking out of the chin, daring one to poke holes in the author's pretensions for claiming to write an `ultimate' treatment of any subject. My skepticism is muted a bit when I see a very complementary blurb on the back cover from James Villas, the author of another recent casserole treatise, `Crazy for Casseroles'.

Make Sweet Potato Casserole in this casserole dish!

Amazon.com Review
With its lively palette and durable construction, the Color line from Lodge is great for everything from main dishes to desserts. Handcast from molten iron in individual sand molds, the line features a sturdy construction that conducts evenly and retains heat well. A double layer of chip-resistant, non-reactive porcelain enamel coats both rims and interiors, while glossy, colorful enameling covers the exteriors. Handsome as well as functional, the enamel simplifies use by eliminating the need for seasoning the cast iron while creating an ideal browning surface.

    One of my favorite reasons to love Thanksgiving even more. We don't normally do Thanksgiving as my son is allergic to turkey so we always eat out but I do have to make sweet potatoes every year no matter what. :) Thanks for the new recipe.

    Hi, I'm back. You don't have your contact link turned on so I'll leave a message here. Just curious... is there supposed to be flour or some other thickener in the topping? It didn't thicken for me. Also, did you use yams perhaps? The photo above is much more orange than our dish turned out to be. (Actually, the sauce made ours more of a tan color.) In the end, the sauce remained liquid and so the dish became like a soup. The taste was okay, but the consistency ... well, it didn't work. So I'm wondering if something was missed. How did it turn out for you?
  • Ramkitten Nov 16, 2009 @ 9:34 pm | delete
