Best Potato Dish. An enormously popular story with readers, "Out of the Frying Pan Into the Oven" appeared in April 2002. In it we lightened many popular and traditionally fat-laden foods.

Notes: The day starts with a light lunch in the form of these bruschetta. In Ojai, California, vine-ripened tomatoes are available even in November. If you have trouble finding them, look for Roma or cherry tomatoes; they tend to be better quality than other types during cool-weather months.
