I had such high hopes. I can't bake for the life of me. Few tries that I attempted ended in sad dissapointment - even birds didn't express much enthusiasm.  I jumped at this book with so much hope... Well, one more failure.  The recipes in this book were updated, only one (that I noticed)  had margarine in the ingredients list, although in the instructions "butter" was used. Unfortunately transfats aren't the only poisons to be on a lookout. Fruits from cans aren't too hot, but not poisonous. Just deprived of most of their value. Besides, you can use what you canned yourself, completely "green". But those handy, work - free cake mixes can be very bad for you. Years ago there was a lot of fuss about them being linked to cancer. I bet the big business cleaned their act some, but still all my family has some bad side effects after ready - mix pancakes. I won't be able to use any of those recipes. "Caveat" mentioned by the other reviewer isn't enough. It is a complete no-no for me. Maybe someone WILL discover what were those quick-fix goodies that Laura Ingall's mom use to throw together in their little house. Maybe...
