4.0

This cookbook opens with discussion on the bakeware used. It's something I never really think about, glass versus metal, cast iron versus aluminum. It breaks down the benefits and cons of each type, which I found interesting.

This book has personality, which is something I immensely appreciate in a cookbook. Advice for sticking noodles includes 'sighing loudly' as well as some legitimate tips to get them unstuck.

There's discussion on types of noodles, types of meat, types of cheese, types of sauces, advice for layering as well as covering it versus uncovering. And then it gets to the recipes.

And recipes there are! Tons of ideas including meat, chicken, seafood, vegetarian and dessert. Some classics and some I have never even thought of (And I've done plenty of searching on pinterest for lasagnas haha)

Lots of great ideas here, most ingredients are going to be easy to find. While most lasagnas take a bit of work and prepping various layers, these work great for making ahead, freezing, and usually plenty for leftovers, which can be the benefits of putting in the work.

I definitely think there's something for everyone in this book. Oven, slow cooker, even instant pot options, keto friendly, vegetarian and classic recipe options. A great addition to any comfort lovers kitchen.

As for photos, I was a bit disappointed. With over 100 recipes, there's only 54 pictures which seems like a lot. But only about 30 of these are of the actual recipes. Many pictures are of a single ingredient, like a cabbage or a butternut squash or a mushroom. This makes me sad. I want to see what every recipe looks like if I can, though I know this isn't always possible.

Thank you NetGalley for the arc of this cookbook. It was my pleasure to read and review this book.
