 Not Enjoyable July 6, 2008

I collect and enjoy reading cookbooks. I like well written recipes that produce good results, but I also like a cookbook that is visually appealing...one where the feast begins with the eyes. This is not at all that book. Enjoy the picture on the cover, because that is the only photo offering of the entire book.

I had high hopes for this cookbook as I'm always looking for casserole recipes. I was very disappointed. The recipes wasn't what I was looking for and I'm probably going to give this cookbook away. Hopefully the person that I give it to will have use for it. Here in my home it's just hubby and I. This book will probably serve a family with kids better then just a 2 person home. That's really all that I can say about it.

Bake Until Bubbly -- Eat Until Full. That's it. Another one out of the park for the -- as far as food is concerned -- always Mr. Wright.

I've been looking for a casserole cookbook that doesn't require a lot of processed foods. I am thrilled to discover this cookbook, which doesn't require a can of this (no Campbell's mushroom soup) or a packet of that. It's simple, basic cooking from scratch. Sure, it may take a bit more time, but I have found the results from this cookbook to be well worth it. Right now, I am working my way through the chicken casseroles and have found them all to be doable and delicious.
I will add that the author is a big fan of cooking a whole chicken (preferrably an organic, free range chicken) for his chicken casseroles. Even though I am a fan of "from scratch" cooking, not everyone has the time and financial resourses to do this. I have cheated when time has been short and have bought the rotisserie chicken you can buy precooked at the grocery store (of which the author is not a fan). The results are still delicious!
I agree with a previous review's comment about some of the "casseroles" are not what I typically would consider a "casserole." Also, the recipes are more on the sophisticated side that young, picky eaters may not be so crazy about. I've been using this cookbook mostly for dinners for my husband and me.
I like the explanations that the author has inserted. Yes, there are no pictures but the author's explanations prior to each recipe are informative and helpful and bring the recipies to life. I found his writing style witty and entertaining.
Definitely a must have recipe book!
 Great selection - without illustrations May 2, 2008

It has a very good and large selection of casseroles but no pictures at all (that would help learning about the presentation of the dishes). Also,it could have both metric systems for countries that work with Kg instead of pounds.
