I received this book as I gift and I think it's great! I've tried a lot of low cal recipes and let's be honest, they aren't always delicious. 90% off the recipes I've tried from this book are fantastic! I recommend it to friends and I even picked one up for my mom! Definitely worth purchasing!

This is a book you grab, flip through for inspiration and generally find that you already have what you need so you get cooking, then and there, with consistently great results. I've had this book for over a year now (in fact I have all three of the Everyday Food books--all great), and it has become my go-to book for 'what are we having for dinner tonight?'. All the recipies are straightforward and so far almost all have been delicious, the food appeals to children and adults alike (few weird ingredients though I'd like more ethnic cooking), and the illustrations and simple directions mean that anyone can do it, right now. I have lots of cookbooks that I enjoy reading, but they just don't get me into the kitchen (too many steps or special ingredients or low confidence that it will appeal to the whole family).

Finally a note on the "light" title--while I don't generally like "low fat" cook books (I'm just not willing to trade off flavor), with this collection you'd never know. Highly recommended.

I have never cooked so many recipes out of a cooking book in so little time. Since purchasing this book about a month ago, we have almost completed the "Winter" section of the book and can't wait for Spring to arrive! That's right; the book is divided into seasons! What a great concept.

I love that you are always certain that the meal you are cooking is light and healthy. The recipes are very simple and usually require ingredients that you would either use regularly or can obtain easily!

BEST RECIPE BOOK PURCHASE!!!
