Soups & Casseroles

The New Casserole

Remember Mom's tuna casserole made with canned soup and potato chips? Today's version is made with fresh tuna and leeks. Author Faye Levy brings the casserole up to date with fresh ingredients and ethnic flavors. The New Casserole is filled with easy-to-prepare, delicious one-dish meals that evolved from both the recipes we grew up with and traditional casseroles from around the world, like Spanish paella and Greek moussaka. They're perfect for today's cook since most of their cooking time is unattended in the oven. There are chapters not only on main ingredients -- poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, and grains -- but also on cooking techniques -- stovetop, microwave, and casseroles in minutes. And with chapters on low-fat casseroles and dessert casseroles, no one will ever run out of casserole ideas.
