Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for a young family member who just had a baby and having a hard time loosing the baby fat. I did not want to lead her astray with fad diet or crash diet books. I wanted her to learn healthy cooking habits. This book has all the nutritional values for each recipe and suprisingly, the servings are decent size servings. We cooked together and made two different dishes and we BOTH loved the book. I went out later and got a second copy for myself. HIGHLY recommend this book for anyone wanting to eat healty, diet or not.

Cooking Light Chicken Tonight: Great Weeknight Meals Designed for Speed and Convenience Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First three recipes I have made have been "okay" nothing to get excited about considering the ingredients, expecting something better. Still willing to try the other recipes in hopes of some good ones that CookingLight usually delivers.

Since readers demand more than just a predictable collection of recipes, editors have pulled out the stops to create a comprehensive chicken cooking guide.

And from family pleasing Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs to good-enough-for-company Pan-Roasted Chicken Cutlets with Maple-Mustard Dill Sauce, the kitchen-tested recipes breath new life into the idea of having Chicken Tonight!

Cooking Light Complete Meals in Minutes: Over 700 Great Recipes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I liked everything about Cooking Light Complete Meals in Minutes, starting with the fact that it is a three-ring-binder which I always appreciate. There is nothing more frustrating that trying to work from a recipe with a book that won't stay open! The other thing I enjoyed about this cookbook was that it has lots of photos. I know the focus is supposed to be on the recipes themselves, but I'm a visual person so how a cookbook looks is important and this one is beautiful as well as practical.
The recipes looked great and honestly, there weren't any that I wouldn't be willing to try and I liked that the ingredients can be found at most grocery stores. The recipes I tried were hits: Vegetarian Paella (which I added chicken to because my guys want meat), Black-Eyed Peas and Rice with Andoulle Sausage (I substituted a turkey sausage I had on hand), and Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (whatever was eliminated to make these "light" wasn't missed at all!). The cookbook gives tips for substitutions as well as brief "Cooking Class" tutorials along the way.
With nine food categories, a kitchen help section, and over 700 recipes that only take 15-30 minutes to prepare, not to mention the asthetic appeal of the book itself, this will become a well-used favorite.
I would definitely consider this cookbook as a gift, not only for a newlywed or someone starting out on their own, but also for a seasoned cook who simply wants new ideas.

Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two (NYM Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this after reading a recipe in our local newspaper taken from the book. It has some wonderful, original recipes, with clear instructions, and, even better, guidance about how to buy a small slow cooker and what you can do with it once you have it.
Most of the recipes are too large for the really small 1 1/2 quart slow cooker, though a few fit that size. Fortunately, each recipe includes a recommended cooker size in the instructions.
My only disappointment was that some of the recipes call for ingredients I cannot possibly find in my rural area grocery stores. But if you live in a city or metropolitan area you can probably find all the ingredients.
Finally, do not buy the "350 recipes" cookbook Amazon tries to bundle with this one in the "buy both" listing near the top of the page. It's really awful - I've reviewed it separately.
If you have a 3 quart slow cooker, you'll enjoy this cookbook.

Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So I needed a new cookbook to help me start preparing healthier meals for my family of five, but with a few conditions: 1) The food had to actually taste good (not like cardboard!) and include a solid variety of recipes. After all, who besides Hollywood celebrities actually wants to eat that stereotypical diet dinner of boring, bland grilled chicken or fish and veggies and rice every day of life? 2) The recipe ingredients had to be affordable for the average family budget, not comprised of dozens of expensive, "exotic" fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices I've never heard of. 3) It wouldn't hurt if the recipes were actually easy to follow, either. The Taste Of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook fits the bill on all counts. Examples of recipes the whole family has especially enjoyed (and really there are no complete "flops" in this cookbook at all) include Tasty Italian Chicken, Chili Sauce Meat Loaf, Creamy Swiss Steak, Slow-Cooked Sweet 'N' Sour Pork, Beef And Spinach Lasagna (yes, lasagna!) and Dijon-Crusted Fish. There are also recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dessert, and to top it all off, the extra recipes you'll get with the included, free 1-year subcription to Healthy Cooking magazine make this cookbook an excellent value for the already-low price.

Entertaining Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very disappointed to discover that the 16 year old book had NOT been updated in any way, other than a new cover and 1 page preface. The photos are outdated and the wedding portion does not have any of the new cake decorating techniques such as rolled fondant. At the very least, I expected updated photos.
However, the recipes look wonderful and the tips on entertaining for different sized groups are helpful. The frugal shopper may wish to simply purchase a used copy of the old version of Entertaining on the auction site since it's EXACTLY the same.
