Marg Ruttan has done it again! I've used some of the other cookbooks in her series and they are all quite good. Real, everyday food that is practical for the home cook. What I like about this book is the recipes are not the usual ones I am familiar with. She has quite an assortment of casseroles that she has created herself using easy-to-find ingredients. I especially like how she included three casserole recipes for leftover turkey. A fresh idea when another meal of turkey soup and leftover turkey sandwiches gets tiring!A couple of the dishes use canned soup, which can be worked around (eg. use a quick white sauce with mushrooms instead of canned mushroom soup), but most of them don't. Where appropriate, she includes helpful tips and variations on a recipe so you can mix up your menu.Last night, I cooked the Swiss Steak with Gravy. My mom used to make something similar, so I was intrigued. The recipe was really easy to make and my family loved it. I served it with mashed potatoes and it was total comfort food. Like a hug from Grandma herself!I'd recommend this cookbook to anyone looking for a good, reliable collection of casserole recipes to add to their repertoire!
