Customer Reviews

You'll never know you're cooking light

This cookbook offers wonderful ways to eat well and reduce fat in your diet. I've already tried a variety of dishes, and I'm hopelessly addicted to their cucumber-dill salad dressing. What I love about Cooking Light is that they take familiar dishes and substitute lower fat ingredients while retaining the flavor of the full-fat dish. It's really hard to go wrong with anything in this book. If you are a dessert aficionado, you can take comfort in the fact that a large percentage of the book is devoted to cakes, pies, muffins and breads. The recipes are generally easy to follow, (excepting one ambigious request for four "cups" of spaghetti), vary from quick and easy to company-worthy and use ingredients I have no trouble finding in my local supermarket. If you are looking for the ultimate light cookbook, you have found it.

Cooking Light Five Star Recipes : The Best of 10 Years

Absolutely, the best of the Cooking Light category. I use many of the recipes frequently. Clear instructions, well illustrated. Easy recipes to serve on a daily basis; good enough for company, too.

Cooking Light Five Star Recipes

Absolutely my favorite cookbook. The recipes are delicious and quite easy to make using ingredients that are easy to find in your local supermarket. I have never had a failure.

Fantastic Recipes Galore!

There isn't one recipe out of this great cookbook that hasn't been successful. Easy to prepare and very, very tasty! If you eat at our house you can guarantee that the recipe is straight out of the book. The Apricot Scones and Mocha Fudge Pie are my favorites. My friends think I'm working for Cooking Light undercover because I'm such an advocate of the recipes. Believe me, buying this book is money well spent and your friends and family will love you even more!

Great Recipes!

As someone who is trying to lose weight and get healthy, I have been buying a lot of "light" cookbooks. Most of them either have recipes that really TASTE low-fat, or they offer serving sizes that are ridiculously small (half a cup, 3 oz, etc.). This book does a great job to avoid those 2 problems...the recipes I have tried have all been wonderful, and I even get human sized portions! This book is a wonderful light cookbook!
