Summary

When it comes to traditional comfort food, most of the key ingredients are off-limits to health-conscious vegans. But giving up shepherd's pie, eggplant parm, and cheesy rice casserole was not an option for Julie Hasson, who took on the challenge to recreate flavors she loved, but without the cheese, eggs, butter, and cholesterol. The results are a mix of retro flavors, such as Nacho Cheesy Sauce and a lighter Cream of Mushroom Soup, and fresh, veggie-forward dishes like Mediterranean Stuffed Cabbage Rolls and Summer Corn Custard. The recipes come together quickly, focus on healthier substitutions without the tans-fats, and are endorsed by some of the toughest critics, Julie's college-aged children and their visiting friends! With recipes like Zucchini Basil Lasagna and Tamale Pie, you're guaranteed to find a casserole you'll love. You can even make your own casserole creations by pairing any of the super-simple sauces with your favorite veggies and rice or pasta. Of course, desserts are an important cap to any casserole-based meal: satisfy your sweet tooth with dishes like Rustic Bread Pudding. Now: dig in and feel good about it!

Library Journal Review

Following books on pizza and diner fare, Hasson (Vegan Pizza) continues her exploration of vegan comfort food. Her challenge here was to find a way to retain the appeal of a casserole-quick, easy, and comfortingly tasty-while ditching the eggs, cream-of-something soup, cheese, and other dairy products that are ubiquitous in standard recipes. When it comes to taste, the author succeeds with flavorful recipes ranging from mac and cheese to enchiladas and from green bean casserole to desserts (think bread and rice puddings, cobblers, and crisps). The last chapter on sauces is key to Hasson's creamy casseroles, of which there are many. Most sauces simply require whizzing everything in a blender followed by a brief simmer-not quite as convenient as opening a can but easy nevertheless. The recipes come with tempting photos, variations, gluten-free adaptations, ingredients information, and buying resources. VERDICT This work will appeal to those looking to expand beyond the few token casserole recipes found in most general vegan cookbooks. Robin Robertson's One-Dish Vegan may sound similar; however, with its many soups, chilis, salads, and stir-fries, it really doesn't have the same focus. Comfort foodies may prefer the wider range of Hasson's dishes.-Jude Baldwin, Coll. of the Siskiyous, Weed, CA (c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
