Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2008: EVERY RECIPE...A Year's Worth of Cooking Light Magazine,   ISBN:9780848731564

Customer Rating: 

Cooking Light magazine is the best lifestyle, health conscience magazine published. It appeals to the novice and the experienced chef and health nut. I bought the book because I own 2 previous editions. These cookbooks are awesome. Years ago, I barely knew how to throw together spaghetti. Now, I explore my cookbooks and magazines for new ideas. The recipes appeal, not only to me, but my young son and husband. Meal time doesn't have to be bland or fattening anymore!! It takes getting used to the formating, receipes grouped by month; however, it works better for produce that is in season. Why spend a fortune in February for something that comes in spring or summer? What really helped me get started down this path, was the easy & fast receipes. They allowed me to graduate to more complicated dishes. I recommend this book (and the other Cooking Light publications) to everyone that I can.

I ordered the 2006 and 2007 edition from Amazon after using the 2008 and 2009 for two weeks. Every week, I go through all four books and pick new recipes to try. I make the ingredient list and I go grocery shopping during the weekend. With this weekly format, I have thrown away less food and saved more money. My boyfriend and I loved every meal so far! I love the format of the book. It has allowed me to go through the book and pick recipes at random, which makes dinner time an adventurous experience. These books have given me a renewed passion in cooking at home.

I have read your magazine for years, but your annual cookbook is really great.It puts a years worth of great, healthy recipes at your fingertips.

This book is nothing more than scanned receipes in BLACK & WHITE from their magazines. A few colored receipes in the middle. Not worth the money. Cook books today should be colored pics. Would not recommed it.

Even if you subscribe to the magazie, this book is very worthwhile to have so everything is in one place and easily accessible.

Really helps keeep thing organized and since I usually will find myself misplacing an issue or two during the year, it makes sure I have my favorite recipe around when I want it.
