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?

Purchased this as a gift for my daughter, newlywed. She likes to eat healthy and she has found this book to be very helpful, easy recipes and has said the meals she has prepared have all been good. She would like for me to continue purchasing these books, as you have the whole year of recipes from Cooking Light in one book. Would highly recommend.

Cooking Light magazine is the best lifestyle, health conscience magazine published. It appeals to the novice and the experienced chef and health nut. I bought the book because I own 2 previous editions. These cookbooks are awesome. Years ago, I barely knew how to throw together spaghetti. Now, I explore my cookbooks and magazines for new ideas. The recipes appeal, not only to me, but my young son and husband. Meal time doesn't have to be bland or fattening anymore!! It takes getting used to the formating, receipes grouped by month; however, it works better for produce that is in season. Why spend a fortune in February for something that comes in spring or summer? What really helped me get started down this path, was the easy & fast receipes. They allowed me to graduate to more complicated dishes. I recommend this book (and the other Cooking Light publications) to everyone that I can.

Cooking Light has improved all of their recipes over the years. Rather than tasting like diet-dishes, I have impressed dinner parties with dishes that have been as tasty as the full-fat dishes. I will continue to subscribe monthly and buy the cookbook at the end of the year. The New England Clam Chowder is as good as any made on the east coast!

I am a long time subscriber to Cooking Light magazine. I look forward to the yearly book so I can discard my magazines. All the receipes are in one book. A great convenience.

This is a cookbook for people who want to cut fat, and calories out of their diet.
I subscribe to the magazine but try to buy each year's book because I like the recipes so much

This annual edition was filled with delicious and easy recipes. Look up the ingredient you want to use and you will find many recipes sure to please the palate.

I ordered the 2006 and 2007 edition from Amazon after using the 2008 and 2009 for two weeks. Every week, I go through all four books and pick new recipes to try. I make the ingredient list and I go grocery shopping during the weekend. With this weekly format, I have thrown away less food and saved more money. My boyfriend and I loved every meal so far! I love the format of the book. It has allowed me to go through the book and pick recipes at random, which makes dinner time an adventurous experience. These books have given me a renewed passion in cooking at home.
