I must admit I am not a fan of the casserole, but Sara's latest book has changed my mind. Goodbye canned soup, and say yes to her fresh and seasonal ingredients that transform the casserole into something brand new and modern. The recipes are easy to make with readily available ingredients. We enjoyed her hearty deconstructed stuffed cabbage very much and look forward to trying many of her other recipes including the lemon ricotta Dutch baby and poke cake. --Lisa Keys, multi-award-winning home cook and Food Network Chopped champion
