(More customer reviews)I just received my copy of Secrets of Light Latin Cooking. Expecting that this cookbook will focus on cooking and preparing some of my favorite Latin dishes. However, this cookbook left out some key information. I was very disappointed that for a light cooking book, that there were no calorie counts for each and every recipe. This information I feel that the author didn't feel was important or valuable to include since every recipe had no nutritional information. This is a major disappointment in the book. I found the recipes to be ok but I have to admit that the author's definition of Latin is very broad as it includes Mediterranean recipes. I would like to have seen information on the food, the country of orgin.
The author appears to use a great deal of gelatin for the desserts which seem to be a less creative. I gave this a 3 star since the book was just OK, not the best of light cookbooks that the author could have spent more time to work on the book and been a bit more creative.
I hope the author will realize that for a light cookbook nutritional information is very important. Also, please define how you are using Latin since I expected this cookbook to look at Latin cooking from that Latin countries and not Italian, Greece etc.
