I bought the 1999 edition of this book several years ago after seeing it at the library and have tried a number of the recipes. I love the freshness of her ideas. The author creates her own salad dressings using pureed fruits in some cases--healthy and tasty. There are lots of color photographs--not one for every recipe, unfortunately, but still delightful. She also offers make ahead tips and alternatives. I haven't found any of the ingredients to be hard to find, but yes, the author does go beyond meatloaf, gravy, and mashed potatoes. I made the zucchini-apple salad stacks for Mother's Day and used dinner glasses instead of soup cans. Just put everything inside the glass in reverse order and then up-end the glass over your salad plate when ready to serve. Makes it easier to store in the refrigerator. Plus, if you have pretty stemware, why not just serve it in those? A different presentation that saves a step, especially if you're serving a large group. Note that almost all the recipes are for 6 portions. I do highly recommend this book.
