5.0 out of 5 stars another great compliation from a great magazine, October 14, 2005

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful Cooking Light cook book!, February 4, 2005

This review is from: Cooking Light Annual Recipes (Hardcover)

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Cooking Light 2005 (pretty much pictureless cookbook), February 17, 2006

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.
