5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty recipes, and solid nutritional information, April 19, 2003

By	K. Hiscott "skhpegger" (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking (Paperback)

This book is an absolute gem. My family's favourite recipes include the salsa meatloaf, blueberry oat bran muffins, porcini mushroom bisque and the double chocolate cookies. Anne Lindsay knows what she's talking about when it comes to nutrition and healthy lifestyle, and she fills her cookbooks with practical tidbits of advice and information. This cookbook is definitely one of my favourites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most used cookbook on shelf, January 27, 2003

By	Havi Echenberg (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking (Paperback)

My copy of this cookbook is so well used, I may need to replace it. But I hate to do that, because each page is marked, with notes from the times I tried the recipe, and those little marks that get on the pages of your most-loved cookbook.

In the last two weeks, I've made the mango salsa, black bean dip with veggie topping, black bean and corn salad, chicken penne salad with Thai dressing, porcini bisque, and chicken breasts with mango chutney sauce. And that is not an unusual two weeks! I own about 20 cookbooks; I use this one at least twice each week.

If you're looking for relatively simple recipes with "wow" power for guests, this is the cookbook for you. That the recipes are healthy, and the Canadian Medical Association recommends it, are merely bonuses.
