Lovejoy's book is designed to introduce the home cook to the exotic ingredients now available in many supermarkets, as well as to new ways of using familiar ingredients. The recipes are simple and easily prepared, but always interesting. The ingredients found in Lovejoy's supermarkets are not yet on everyone's shelves, but she does suggest suitable substitutions. An informative and informed collection of bright new recipes. Brack and Bell emphasize the regional bounty of the Pacific Northwest, and though their dishes are somewhat less exotic than Lovejoy's, they're still creative and fresh. The preparation notes are detailed and good.
