Summary: Good, but "The Complete Cooking Light" is even better.
Comment: I love the Cooking Light cookbooks and magazine. For those of you unfamiliar with them, their cookbooks are well-organized, contain appealing photographs of many of the recipes, and include a wide variety of food types, including meatless dishes for vegetarians. In addition, most of the recipes are not overly complicated. I like too cook, but I am by no means an expert. If you're in the same boat, have no fear. You can handle most of the recipes in this book. In addition, they include helpful tips and photographs in sections where the recipes are a little bit more complicated. And for those of us who are health-conscious, they also include a thorough nutritional analysis in fine print after every recipe (e.g. calories, fat, fiber, etc.). Most importantly, the recipes are INTERESTING and DELICIOUS. It sounds like a cliche, but no one will know that the food is from a "light" cookbook unless you tell them.
This book is no exception. It contains the editors' picks of their tried & true best recipes over 10 years. While it is a very good cookbook, however, I do like "The Complete Cooking Light" better. It contains many more recipes and, thus, greater variety. If you can only buy one, buy "The Complete Cooking Light." If possible, though, buy both!

Summary: Quick, tasty, and low calorie
Comment: This is the cookbook for you if you like it easy, but good for your waistline. No one ever believes these dishes are from a "diet" cookbook.

Summary: My new favorite cookbook
Comment: I just got this cookbook a few weeks ago and just love it. It is my new everyday cookbook. I have made the individual filet mignons, red eye chicken, chicken & ham tetrazzini, huckleberry cake, parmesan and green peppercorn salad dressing, chicken parmesan. While it is true that there are some "diet" cookbooks out there that provide recipes with lower calorie counts I think this cookbook is more practical. Watching what you eat needs to be a lifelong process and this book makes it doable. Diet books which severely restrict calories are difficult to stick with for a long period. Using recipes from this book you can easily stick with between 300 to 500 calories for a dinner meal which is pretty reasonable and you won't feel deprived. Definitely gourmet. I would definitely recommend this cookbook.
