I just found this beauty at the library this week. Too many recipes to copy. I may have to start the used booksearch again. I refuse to pay full price for new books when there are so many previously owned beauties out there. To me casseroles are a single working mothers dream and if you can prepare them ahead of time…even better.
And because you are all telling me I SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK, I will also be searching for The River Cottage Family Cookbook. Honestly, I don’t know why I don’t already having been a fan of the River Cottage blogs.
We don’t have River Cottage here in the states, but I found this lovely website to watch episodes. If you’ve never met Hugh, meet him here. This is the next series of episodes I am just starting.
In the meantime if YOU don’t already have the Williams-Sonoma Family Meals cookbook by Maria Helm Sinsky, you need to go find it. We are up to five recipes: Strawberry Jam, Blueberry Pancakes, Summertime Lemonade, Oven-Fried Chicken Fingers, Truly Amazing Mac and Cheese and nary a dud yet.

OK…so did we already discuss that I collect cookbooks? And…I don’t have any of those…yet. That casserole one looks gorgeous…I love the cover photo. OK…off to search amazon…:)

okay…I’ve never heard of River Cottage (does that make me nuts?) but if you recommend it, it must be good – I’ve put a hold on it at our local library…

we’re big fans of Hugh and river cottage here, and have bought all the books, but the one i use most is the family one, so easy to follow for a non-cook like me.
we also just got one called pie by angela boggiano

Yup. Used bookstores and the library are my friends! And yes, you *must* get a copy of River Cottage because well, you will just love it! I just found the series online too, how great is that?!
I assume you have already read The Moosewood Cookbook, and Enchanted Broccoli Forrest? Pretty fabulous!
