(More customer reviews)The pictures are gorgeous, that makes the book worth buying. However, I have a few problems with it. Firstly, when I turn to a cookbook, I'm often looking for inspiration for a specific category of recipe, be it a main dish or dessert or side. All of Cooking Light's Annuals are organized in the oddest manner (I assume by their original theme grouping in the magazine articles?). So if you're looking for a recipe for "soups" for example, you have to look in the index and endlessly flip pages back and forth to see soup recipes. I'd find it easier to have the book organized by category. Secondly, many of the recipes use unusual ingredients in wee tiny quantities. If you're making an effort to add variety to your cooking or you've got a gourmet pantry that's fine but sometimes it gets annoying to have to make a trip to the store and spend a ton of money for ingredients you use by the teaspoon (though I do appreciate that the recipes don't rely on "diet" ingredients heavily and rather try to make things lighter by other modifications to the recipes). Five stars for being a gorgeous book and interesting read. 1 star for organization. 3 stars for practicality of recipes.
