 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?

    I like that it has the veggies and the fruits that are associated with the particular time of the year and the season to be able to get the most of the nutrition they have to offer.

    I find it very helpful when the recipe tells me exactly what heat a burner should be on. This book has that! I also like the nutritional values being printed with the recipes.

    I like that there’s so many recipes in the book and that they are all geared towards eating healthier. It looks like the kind of recipe book I would use several times a week.

    I decided that I needed to start incorporating lighter meals into our meals because I tend to cook the old fashioned comfort meals. We’re both getting older and my husband has high blood pressure and I have inherited cholesterol, which we both take meds for. This would be a great start, as I don’t know “light cooking”.

    I love that the recipes (400 to be exact) are based on simple principals of healthy eating. And the fact that there were reviews by some great chefs was a bonus for me!

    I Like that it has simple principals to cooking lightly, and that they are recipes you actually have ingredients in your house. I hate finding a recipe and not knowing even what some of the ingredients are. My youngest is really into cooking lately and is quite a good cook, she would love this book too, after I go through it of course lol.

    I like that the cookbook, also, has special occasion recipes because we entertain quite a bit.
