This is the most recent of a series. I've bought them all and enjoy making recipes from them immensely. The variety is fabulous, the food deliciousand the instructions always easy to understand. It's fun to cook healthy when you have a great tool like these cookbooks. My husband thinks we eat better than 90% of people in the US and most of my recipes come from Cooking Light. The recipes range from easy to prepare to long and involved . The end product is nearly always worth your time and effort. YUM!!

I am an avid reader of the Cooking Light magazine. I often remember a dish that I read about and found it frustrating to go back through a pile of magazines to locate the recipe. I now have 3 years of the annuals and find it very convenient. The index is by month and alphabetical.

I have not cooked from any other cookbook since I brought this home. Every recipe we have tried has been so good. Healthy recipes that taste good, not bland. How can you go wrong?
