 Cooking Light The New Way to Cook Light

Cooking Light the New Way to Cook Light

Cooking Light the New way to Cook Light Cookbook (MSRP $34.95)

still blondeThe Chief Blonde Remarks: Cooking Light The New Way to Cook Light Cookbook is just pure eye candy.  There are 400 incredible recipes, many with full color pictures, and full nutritional information for each recipe.  It’s “fresh food & bold flavors for today’s home cook”.

The Cooking Light Cookbook has 14 chapters and each recipe has a very detailed directions with many helpful tips.  This oversized hardback edition is worthy of your coffee table in its heft and lovely page paper quality.  I love to just browse cookbooks and this one is one of the best I have ever seen for that purpose.  However, the succulent recipes make you want to bust out your spatula and Kitchen aid, such that you can fire up the oven and make meals.

Several of the Recipes that I have my eye are on in the Cooking Light The New Way to Cook Light Cookbook include:

  • Gnocchi with Shrimp, Asparagus, and Pesto
  • Old-Fashioned Chicken Potpie
  • Wild Mushroom with Truffle Oil
  • Multigrain Pilaf with Sunflower Seed
  • Tortilla Meatball Soup
  • Easy French Toast Casserole
  • Margarita Ice-Cream Sandwiches
All the Recipes in the book are based on Nine Simple Principles
1. Embrace new variety
2. Cook more often
3. Eat more whole foods
4. Favor the healthy fats
5. Eat less meat, more plants
6. Cook seasonally and when possible locally
7. Learn new techniques
8. Buy the best ingredients you can afford
9. Cook and eat mindfully and responsibly

Can’t Wait to Win it?

Buy Cooking Light the New way to Cook Light Cookbook at Amazon.com, iBookstore and wherever books are sold. Also, available for Kindle.

    I like that it uses real foods that just about everyone can grow. I grow what I eat or I get it from farmers who grow as organically as possible. I’m always looking for new recipies that use real foods.

    I’ve always enjoyed the magazine so would be nice to ahve the book. I have over 150lbs to lose so a book like this would be perfect for me. It is nice to be able to make yummy tasting foods that would help me reach my goal weight

    I love the magazine, but hadn’t see the cookbook before. Thanks for the heads up. I went to the website and have to say that I LIKE the idea of pulling up a cookbook recipe on my tablet. I just need to get a stand. That way I can I don’t have to keep looking down at a paper cookbook.
