Elevates casseroles to another level

Regarding the print...I read reviews from people who had trouble with the color of the print, which was called orange and gray in some reviews. I thought that I had purchases a different version since I had no difficulty in reading the print. However, on closer examination, I found that the print in my copy is arguably orange and gray--tho more rust and charcoal.

Regarding the recipes, they are mouthwatering! I cook a lot, and have an extensive cookbook collection, mostly of gourmet cookbooks. The recipes in the book may not rise to the level of haute cuisine, however, I think that they will produce family and friend meals closer to the gourmet end of the spectrum than the normal casserole or comfort food cookbook. I was extremely pleased by my purchase!

A Good cook's secret

This is a superb cookbook. Beatrice O really knows her way around a casserole! This has produced the all time best scalloped potatoes, pot roast and lasagne ever. I did not grow up in a casserole-oriented household and never learned this style of economic, time-efficient cooking and I just love this book. She has easy recipes for replacing all those condensed canned soups with genuine sauces. This style of cooking is a total boon for time-pressed cooks who are looking for healthy, nutritious options. I will say she has a definite fondness for cheese, but these are choices that can be modified. The principles are excellent and my friends tell me I am a good cook already, but this has made my cooking even better.

good recipes

This is the cookbook I use most for casseroles. She has it organized according to size, purpose and ingredients. Very nice!
ps: As a senior, I use the section on small casseroles for two. It's only one of two books that I know of that has cut the
amounts of the ingredients for small dishes.

The title is true!

This really is the best casserole cookbook that I've ever decided to buy. The recipes are not overly complicated. They really bring something new to the table (pun intended) - even old standards. I love to read cookbooks like novels, but so far, every recipe I've tried has been as delicious as it sounded when I read it.
