Bake Until Bubbly

Over 200 variations on the ultimate comfort food-from breakfast to dessert, from around the country and the world! We may fondly remember the classics like tuna noodle casserole, lasagna, or macaroni and cheese from childhood, but this collection of recipes reveals the incredible versatility as well as the simplicity, ease, and satisfaction of a well-baked casserole. With healthy options, sweet options, and even vegetarian options, it's a treasury for any home cook. &quote;Bake until Bubbly . . . the name says it all. Visions of creamy, tender casseroles with crusty, crunchy tops immediately come to mind and Clifford Wright's book delivers. You will find easy-to-make one-dish recipes like the rustic but elegant Veal Saltimbocca and Cassoulet and comfort food such as Blue Cheese Halibut Bake; Sausage, Red Bean, and Apple Casserole; Cranberry-Apple-Walnut Crisp; and Blackberry and Cream Cheese Crepes Casserole. I love the fact that you can find everything from breakfast casseroles to vegetarian options to desserts. The Potato, Bacon, and Gruyere Casserole is coming to my next potluck.&quote; Dede Wilson, contributing editor to Bon Appetit and public television host &quote;An Irish rutabaga pudding, a baked rigatoni with meatballs, a nectarine and almond dessert casserole, and numerous other fascinating dishes guaranteed to add new and exciting dimension to this succulent style of cooking.&quote; James Villas, author of Crazy for Casseroles and The Glory of Southern Cooking &quote;Wright shows that casseroles are part of a long international tradition that continues as strongly today in the Middle East as in the Midwest . . . A great resource for most any occasion.&quote; Publishers Weekly
