Customer Rating: 

I've had this book for about 7 months and so far, I've made 29 recipes, all but three were excellent. Even the three that weren't great get extra points for being quick. My top 5 are: Sweet Orange Salmon, Shrimp with Feta, Cumin Crusted Pork Soft Tacos, One Dish Rosemary Chicken and White Beans, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce. This book proves that even with a busy schedule, you can still eat healthy and tasty meals.

Customer Rating: 

This book is OK but it is not as good as other cooking light books.

Customer Rating: 

This book is divided into 6 sections: Essential Weeknight, Make Ahead, Fish & Shellfish, Meats, Poultry, Pizza & Sandwiches.

Of the 57 total recipes, 10 of those are for pork, which my boyfriend and I don't eat. Otherwise, I've made several of the recipes and they have all turned out great. Many lend themselves easily to tweaks and alterations. They're all easy and there are no exotic ingredients. Every recipe has a picture (which is great!) and there is a back section which contains side dish recipes. Aside from the pork, this is a great cookbook.

Customer Rating: 

Although I love Cooking Light, I thought this was a strange compilation of recipes. I also felt that they weren't as kid friendly as I had hoped.

When you buy a cookbook, you never know what you're going to get. Too often I've picked one up at the local bookstore, only to get it home and realize that it requires me to go to a specialty market for the ingredients. This one is no such book! It has some delicious and fast recipes with easy to obtain ingredients (ones that I often already have). Heck, the recipes are so easy that even my husband can cook them! (Not that men can't cook. He just can't cook.)
