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'.

A double layer of chip-resistant, non-reactive porcelain enamel coats both rims and interiors, while glossy, colorful enameling covers the exteriors.

    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?

    I'm looking around for recipes for Thanksgiving side dishes, because we have to bring something to dinner this year. We've been invited as guests for several years to the same place and were always told--ordered--not to bring anything. But now the hostess is getting older and can't cook as much, so we're all bringing something. This sounds like a yummy possibility. I'm putting together a lens of candidates, featuring the recipe lenses on it, so I'm adding this one.

    Now this is something I seriously dig! I love me some sweet potato anything, so this recipe is right up my alley. I have been known to spend quite a bit of time in The South in the past, so I have had the great pleasure of trying some truly delectable recipes and this one seems to be in the same class.

    The moral of the story is: enjoy this casserole, but don't be piggy about it. Colin will NEVER live it down. It will be great Thanksgiving storytelling as long as any of us are alive. Great recipe by the way.

    Ah, I have a sweet potato casserole story for you. When my son Colin was 3 years old, I went into labor on Thanksgiving morning with my daughter, Molly. I went ahead and made a lovely Thanksgiving dinner just for the three of us (me, hubby and son) that included a yummy sweet potato casserole much like this one. Colin LOVED it and ate heartily. It got to be about midnight and about time to head for the hospital, and Colin was crying that he felt bad, that his tummy hurt. My husband was trying to console Colin while we tried to decide whether to take him to the neighbors as planned or to bring someone to the house to babysit in case he was sick. We called a dear friend (had to be to come to the house with no warning at midnight on Thanksgiving) to come over and stay with him. Later at the hospital, I mentioned it to a nurse, who asked "Did you have sweet potatoes today?" Hmmm. Apparently sweet potatoes can give people horrible gas if overeaten, and poor Colin had fallen victim.

    This is a little different twist with the orange. Also I've never mashed them. I think my family might like this for Thanksgiving.
