I’ve subscribed to Cooking Light and it’s predecessers since the 70′s – I love to cook and try new recipes. This book not only contains the staffs favorites, but many of my own – and finding them is alot easier than going through years of old magazines. The only draw back I can think of is the lack of pictures – for those who need them to be inspired. Don’t let that stop you, the recipes are wonderful – give it a try!

Cooking Light is fantastic as always- this includes all the year’s recipes as well as a few of the articles that appeared in the magazines.
The only potential complaint is that the index isn’t very user friendly. There is a by-month index as well as a general recipe index, but if you don’t know the name of the recipie I’ve found it to be a challenge to find what you are looking for!

I too subscribe to this wonderful magazine, and decided to try a year-end compendium of all of the recipes…I was a bit put off by the thin paper of the book and the lack of pictures, but the recipes are outstanding and the pages are packed with great ideas. I’ve really wowed my family and friends with several of the recipes, and recommend the Grilled Pork with Peach Salsa and Field Green Citrus Salad recipes…great for the summer!

Although I really like the Cooking Light magazine, I found that I wasn’t as thrilled with the cookbook as I thought I’d be, since there were hardly any photographs. Being a visual person, I like and pretty much need to see the picture of the finished dish before I make it. Now although this magazine has an abundance of recipes, which are probably very good, I’m not sure it will be very useful to me due to the lack of pictures.

I’ve been a subscriber to Cooking Light magazine for several years now and I still love it. I got the 2005 book as gift and added it to my Cooking Light collection. The photographs in the book are beautiful and mouth-watering, but there are not enough (I like to see what the final product looks like when I am cooking). I do like that the nutritional information including calories, fat, protein, carb, fiber are listed for each recipe. I do find that many of the recipes have a long prep time and this a deterrent for me at this busy stage in my life. For the “true” chef, though, there will be no problem and the recipes will be wonderful to make. Generally, the ingredients are readily available, but for some of the recipes, there are ingredients that I have no idea where to buy them. The book is organzied by month–like the magazine. Really, overall, a beautiful book. Oh! I did make the cover recipe–it is REALLY GOOD!
