Cooking Light: The Lazy Gourmet,
By
This review is from: Cooking Light: The Lazy Gourmet (Today's Gourmet) (Hardcover)
Turns out to be a great addition to my shelf of Cooking Light Cookbooks! I purchased The Lazy Gourmet a few weeks ago because of my positive experiences with this series (and the magazine) but I didn't expect it to be this good! I've previously been disappointed with some of those "six-ingredients-or less" type cookbooks because the recipes aren't *really* six ingredients--you have to add several more just to get some flavor, and/or they rely too heavily on convenience foods. But so far, The Lazy Gourmet has delivered on its promise, without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. These aren't "instant" recipes--they do (mostly) list more than six ingredients and they do take more time than slapping a chicken breast in a pan with prepared Teriyaki sauce--but we're talking gourmet here! You expect to cook a *little*! There is some use of mixes (low-fat brownie mix, for instance) but in my experience the convenience-foods in the recipes, like frozen hash browns (in a delicious portabella-mushroom & Asigo cheese brunch dish) or frozen mixed vegatables (in a pretty, savory, stuffed crookneck squash side dish)work well--and the completed recipes taste good, are low-fat, and look like they took a lot more time to prepare then they did! Try the awesome stuffed chicken-breast recipe, with a spinach and prepared low-fat pesto stuffing (and a coating of cornflakes) at your next dinner-party. It's delicious and looks great. After only a few weeks, I have gotten five stellar, entertaining-quality recipes out of it. That justifies the purchase price as far as I'm concerned.

Great cookbook for those of us who want to watch our weight, eat healthy but want food that really tastes good. Loved the recipes I have used so far.
