I'm a huge fan of this recipe. I use it mainly as a 'guide', using whatever veggies I have around (I have a vegetable share at a local CSA). I've made it twice now, with completely different sets of veggies (only the tomatoes and zucchini were the same), and it came out beautifully both times.

Followed directions, what a disaster. First the appearance was very unappealing, but thought sometimes things taste better than they look. Unfortunately, the taste was what the appearance led me to believe. It was a jumble of vegetables with nothing to give it taste. There were four at dinner and not one of us liked it. It was a waste of plenty of good vegetables.

This is a great recipe for vegetable lovers. I am trying to cook healthier so I substituted reduced far sour cream for the cream but was still very pleased with the taste.
