Product Description
Product Description
A good cook once said, a casserole is a blend of inspiration and what's on hand. Beatrice Ojakangas must have inspiration by the gallon, along with a very big kitchen, to come up with 500 comforting and creative casseroles ideal for any occasion. The enduring beauty of casseroles is that they come together quickly and they taste great - the perfect dish doesn't get much better than that.

Format:Paperback
I ordered 'The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever' with a Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Casserole, Cerise, 24 cm hopping for inspiration to use it. The book was a nice surprise, and not quite what I was expecting. Beatrice Ojakangas takes the definition of 'casserole' as far as possible in over 500 recipes, grouped in 17 chapters, from No-Knead Breads, Breakfast & Brunch Casseroles to different Meat, Fish, Grain, Pasta or Vegetarian ones, and finishes with a full chapter of Desserts. I think the way recipes are organized is very good, enhancing options for a certain ingredient you may want to use or ideas for a special occasion (a meal for kids, for a crowd or for 2). Not all recipes come with a photo - if you're expecting many photos or every recipe pictured then this book may not be what you're looking for. It doesn't matter to me, and I find it perfectly acceptable in a book that offers such a large number of recipes.
Polenta Spoon Bread, Baked Cinnamon-Maple French Toast, Chicken with Forty CLoves of Garlic, Baked Eggs with Artichokes and Parmesan or Peach Buckle are some of the delicious recipes in Beatrice Ojakangas' book.

I've tried about 15 recipes out of this book and they've all turned out great. Nice variety of recipes, good instructions, large font is easy to read while cooking. She includes notes for each recipe - sometimes a bit of history, or suggested substitutions. I love cooking and would recommend this book.

A treasure trove of great casserole recipes
20 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
Some people have claimed to be turned off by this book because it has a couple of recipes that use Hormel Spam as an ingredient. I think that's a joke by the author, Beatrice Ojakangas, that backfired: she lives in Minnesota, the state where Spam is manufactured. It is, not surprisingly, pretty popular in the state. But I guess not everyone gets the joke.
Aside from that, this book very well lives up to its title as "The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever".
Ojakangas opens with a history of the casserole and again incorporates her Minnesota background by explaining that the casserole in those parts is called a "hot dish". I have consumed many a "hot dish" at gatherings in Minnesota. And many a casserole at home, where such dishes are a favorite in a busy household.
This book already has lots of pages flagged - because it is loaded with great recipes. We had one this week, a chicken noodle casserole, that was absolutely scrumptious.
After an introduction to the basics of casseroles (e.g., sauces, etc.), she moves into the goodies: 16 chapters of yummies. (I admit to not liking fish and shellfish, but I include that chapter in the count anyway.)

More than 500 recipes, many of them that set my mouth watering at first reading.
Most of the recipes are reasonably simple and quick to prepare. Lots of fun new (to me) things to try like a No-Egg Breakfast Potato Hot Dish and a Curried Chicken Breast Casserole.
A couple of small negatives. The recipes are printed in a reddish ink and somewhat difficult to read. There aren't enough illustrations. Neither of these is a show stopper.
Overall, a great treasure for those who like "hot dishes" or, as the rest of the country calls them, casseroles. And having written this review and browsed the recipes once more, I'm hungry. Fortunately, I can look forward to the Ancho Chicken Breast With Corn for dinner tomorrow night.

Excellent Casserole Cookbook!
5 Nov 2008
Format:Paperback
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.

Best Casserole Cookbook
5 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Overwhelming amount of info, many interesting meals. The details are what make this worth buying. Chapter on no-knead casserole bread, including the much vaunted NY Times method, is worth the $16.xx price.
