Original, Flavorful, Not "Diet"

I had this book, gave it away in a generous moment. After borrowing it from the library, I've decided I need a copy to keep. The reasons why: the food is original, flavorful; the preparation ranges from easy to moderate; the ingredients can be had in just about any supermarket; it is healthful, but you'd never know it. The turnip gratin is outstanding--I've served it and other recipes from this book to guests. It makes very simple substitutions for fat--buttermilk is used frequently. Corn syrup is used to maintain texture in some of the baked confections. Why it merits 4, not 5, stars: There are only 125 recipes and the only nutritional data offered is the fat gram count.
