5.0 out of 5 stars Lowfat...Maximum Flavor...Tastebud Sensation, April 5 2004

This review is from: The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook (Hardcover)

This cookbook is not just meat and potatoes. It's herbs, spices and vegetables galore. It has incredible appeal for vegetarians and die hard meat eaters. I have never owned a cookbook like this.

My husband recently lost 25 lbs. on the Dr. Phil plan. I will not say diet, as we have attained a new lifestyle of eating. I had a hard time converting favorite recipes into lowfat consciencious meals. Magically, I was turned on to this cookbook and I haven't stepped out of the kitchen since. My family looks forward to meals with eager anticipation of my cuilinary triumphs. I, in turn, can't wait to create. I sit with this book in my lap every evening and begin meal planning for the next day.

For those of you who love to entertain, your guests will go crazy when you tell them they're eating from Cooking Light. Every morsel from appetizers to dessert will have them salivating. We had company last night that started with Tex-Mex Bean Dip, followed by Multi-Grain Vegetable Burrito with Tomatoe Basil Salad. Dessert topped it off with Maple Carmel Flan. My girlfriend went home and ordered this cookbook.

I have been a gourmet cook for years, and I can't sing praises loud enough. This book will teach you about portion sizes, calorie intake, as well as the breakdown of fiber, sugar, and carbohydrates. Cut out the old supersizing and bring in the flavor.

I love this cookbook! Everything I have made has been wonderful! I was even able to feed my picky 9-yr-old nephew Chicken Florentine Lasagna (spinach!). I love that I can make a recipe out of this book, that I have never tried before, for company, with confidence it will be great. A definite must-have!!

5.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorites, Feb 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook (Hardcover)

Cooking Light has become the first cookbook I turn to when planning meals or dinner parties. The recipes are easy to follow and there's a great variety (everything from a simple soup for a family dinner to fancy dishes to impress your guests.)

But, as another reviewer noted, it's all about the taste. I have very seldom made anything out of this cookbook that wasn't wonderful. When I have friends or family over for dinner, they're always pleasantly suprised to find out that everything they've been enjoying is a healthy recipe.

If I could only have one cookbook, I'd do quite well with this one.

This is one of my absolute favorite cookbooks. The recipes are interesting but not overly complicated. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended. What a cookbook should be.
I have a whole library of cookbooks, but this is the one I reach for time and time again. There are certain qualities that make this book superior; they include:
