Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2007: EVERY RECIPE...A Year's Worth of Cooking Light Magazine Review

Average Reviews:

(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.

Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2010: Every Recipe...A Year's Worth of Cooking Light Magazine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am only a recent cooking light devotee- I started geting the magazine about a year and a half ago, and I tend to cook 1 or 2 of the recipes every month- normally out of the section with the grocery list included. At the end of the year, I have a stack of magazines with torn out pages for the coupons and some tears from being carried on airplanes and such.
I love the compilation! This book is a hardcover of all of the previous year's cooking light recipes- in order by the month they appeared in the magazine. They are indexed in the back by title and ingredient. Every recipe has all of the nutrtion information, so if you're watching your intake, it makes things easy. One of the biggest things about cooking light is that if you're in the mood for something in particular, there's normally a recipe in the last month or so that has had it- be it pork tenderloin or some asian chicken. This compilation takes care of that.
The pictures in the center are the only pictures in the book, but if you've looked through the magazine throughout the yeear, you're normally ok with it- as they have a picture and a store for every recipe. However, if you need photos, this isn't the cookbook for you. (I recommend Dinner Tonight by Cooking light :Cooking Light The Essential Dinner Tonight Cookbook: Over 350 delicious, easy, and healthy meals However, if you're looking for hundreds of recipes with some of them even having your grocery list for a week's worth of meals, this is the one for you.
