Cooking Light 2006 Annual Recipes (2005, Hardcover)

I decided to purchase because I had found the same book in the library and liked several receipes. That's when I decided to purchase the book and I am using it on a regular basis.

This has to be one of my favorite cookbooks. I am a fan of Southern Living cookbooks. This is the first time I tried the Cookling Light Cookbook and I will say that there are yummy recipes in there as well. Good variety and good for you. Some dishes I would say are not low in fat as they should be. But if you are just trying to eat healthier this is great! For the most part I found it to be one of the best cookbooks I have and that I refer to often to make new dishes. I cannot wait for the next one to come out! For those who are on a diet I recommend Weight Watchers Make it in Minutes cookbooks, very good recipes for being on a lowfat diet.

I have collected several Cooking Light Annual Cookbooks over the years and love them. The recipes are generally pretty healthy...low in fat, but sometimes too high in carbohydrates, and sodium for my liking. Because of health issues, I use the nutrition information to decide what recipes I can use and what I can do to perhaps adjust the recipe (or portion size) to make it work for me. I find the recipes are fairly easy to make, very interesting in taste and appearance. This is not like the typical diet recipes I have tried in other books. In this issue, I tried the "Pike Place Market Salad" and thought it was fantastic!
