Not as good as past years' issues, Jan 30 2011

This review is from: COOKING LIGHT : ANNUAL RECIPES 2011 (Hardcover)
I have been a huge fan of the Cooking Light annual compilations and have most of them. First off, a beef with the book itself. They have changed the paper stock. It's no longer glossy. So any spills won't easily be wiped off. Second, the recipes just aren't up to snuff. A lot of really basic recipes with nothing very different about them. And there are a lot fewer of them. The 2010 book had over 1000 recipes, this year has 700. On the positive side, I do like that they have included more of the articles on nutrition. All in all, just an ok edition compared with a really special 2009 and 2010 cookbooks.

A Good Guide to Light Cooking, Jan 7 2011
By k8inut - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: COOKING LIGHT : ANNUAL RECIPES 2011 (Hardcover)
This book starts off with an overview of the magazine's favorite recipes from that year. Many of those recipes are pictured in that section and are accompanied by a short description of the food and a page number for the recipe.The body of the cookbook is organized by the month that the recipe was published in the magazine. The book also says that it has over 700 new recipes, and there are approximately 400 pages worth of recipes, many with a few recipes on each page, in this book. Each of the recipes has nutritional information following it, and many of the recipes have an extra tag on them that denotes them as "Kid Friendly", a "Staff Favorite", "Quick and Easy", and/or a "Make Ahead" dish.
Each month isn't organized in the traditional fashion with a section on main dishes, desserts, etc. Instead, the recipes are grouped into sections by themes like vegetarian dishes, special occasion items, budget cooking, super fast recipes, etc. However, there is an index in the back that could help you find a recipe if you're looking for a dish with a certain ingredient. There are also sections called "Cooking Classes" and lots of other cooking tips throughout the book. There are some nutrition advice sections throughout the book as well.
After the montly recipe section, there is an ingredient buying guide, a menu idex, a recipe title idex, a month-by-month idex, and a general recipe idex. Many of the recipes in this book are lighter versions of classics, such as black forest cake and boston cream pie. There are also lots of unique recipes, too, such as carrot cake pancakes and chicken stuffed with spinach, feta, and pinenuts.
There aren't very many pictures with the recipes in the body of the book, and the pictures that are there are in black and white. The color pictures can be found either in the beginning of the book in the favorite recipe section or in the middle of the body where there is a small section of color photographs. Overall, though, it's a good mix of cooking and nutrition advice along with lots and lots of light recipes.

This review is from: COOKING LIGHT : ANNUAL RECIPES 2011 (Hardcover)
The book allows us to dispose of a years collection of magazines which are quite space consuming. As published the book could be enhanced by more photos other wise it serves its purpose.
