5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate comfort food . . ., June 26, 2000

I was raised on casseroles: tuna noodle casserole; a ground beef, tomato and elbow macaroni concoction my mother called "goolash" (not to be confused with the Hungarian dish of similar name); stuffed peppers and stuffed cabbage; ham and green beans with new potatoes. Casseroles were a good way to stretch the food budget. In addition, they were regular staples at the monthly church pot luck dinners (for our denomination, the monthly pot luck was nearly a sacrament!).

Natalie Haughton has compiled a very creative collection of one-dish recipes. She shows a lot of flexibility with the term "one-dish," including the wok, pressure cooker, and salad bowl in the definition. The result is a nice mix of easy, plain, fancy, and more complex recipes, a number of which are good company fare.

Among my favorites are a version of Irish Lamb Stew very similar to one I was served at Bunratty Folk Park near Shannon Airport in Ireland (a dish that I'd enjoyed immensely, and had been searching for the recipe for several years!); a very nice Over Beef Stew; a good-enough-for-company Meat and Spinach Torte, made in a springform pan with puff pastry crust; a stick-to-your-ribs Cheddar Noodle Casserole, made with spinach fettuncine, smoked turkey breast, and cheddar cheese.

All in all, a surprisingly good book, full of creative virtually fool-proof recipes. This is another of my "desert island" cookbooks!

If the burden of cooking ever falls on you as it has fallen upon me (for a grouchy "bear" of an Uncle) you'll love this book as much as I do! It is full of quick and easy dinner recipes that are made from common ingredients found in most kitchens. And the taste is superb, good enough to satisfy the pickiest of eaters. This book is invaluable!

I've owned this cookbook for about 8 yrs. The recipes for the most part require ingredients that can readily be found in most people's cupboard on a typical day. What I really like about this cook book is that except for a few exceptions...every recipe is deeeeeeelicious!! Here are some of the exceptional ones...Chicken Enchilada Casserole, Cheddar Noodle Casserole, Turkey Tortilla Bake, Broccoli Souffle Bake & My Favorite Quiche. Even the kids will eat these..cause the they don't actually see the veggies & healthy stuff inside...they see cheese on top and believe it's yummy to eat..
I recommend this cook book for any person who's rushed for time and rarely has a bunch of gourmet ingredients in the house.
