Meatloaf: Recipes for Everyone's Favorite [Paperback]

Maryana Vollstedt (Author), Jennifer Levy (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 30, 2006

Everyone loves meatloaf. It's the ultimate in homey comfort food, easy to make and, with a fluffy mound of mashed potatoes and some gravy, about as close to heaven as a meal can get. Maryana Vollstedt, author of such comforting favorites as Big Book of Casseroles and Big Book of Easy Suppers, presents her favorite recipes, including a classic loaf using a mixture of ground beef and sausage; a lively version with a horseradish-crumb topping; and an Asian-style meatloaf with a hoisin-soy sauce (and a spicy touch of wasabi for more adventurous folks). Others showcase poultry, lamb, or fish and there are also vegetarian selections. Recipes for the perfect side dish accompaniment round out this satisfying book.

I am thrilled with this amazing cook-book for ALL kinds of meat loaf using different combinations of beef, pork,sausage, turkey and veggies. I cook dinner for my husband and Mom about 5 nights a week and their favorite food has always been meatloaf. We look forward to trying each new recipe and it's my very favorite cook-book. I wish I knew this book had existed sooner......

Meatloaf is such a comfort food, and a variety of good recipes we meatloaf lovers are always looking to find new recipes. This cookbook advances that cause, and will add many more to ones collection, as it has to mine and other reviewers.

She has a full ethnic offering, including Italian, Mexican, Morrocan, Mediterranian, etc. There are differing meats and binders and seasonings, etc. to provide a fine, full sweep of options. I especially enjoyed as did my guests the Reunion offering with its Greek and Italian flavorings.

The colored photos are nice as are the intro and side dishes suggested as well.

This is a useful work to the meatloaf nation that we are.
