 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?

    It is often hard to find light, tasty recipes that are not the same old thing. I like that the recipes are designed to encourage healthy lifestyles and that there are 400 recipes. I love cookbooks with pictures too!

    I’ve been working hard at changing my eating habits recently. I love that this book sticks with the 9 simple principals to maintain healthy eating. And with over 400 recipes it gives me a good variety to choose from. I am so tired of eating the same couple of things over and over.

    i like that all recipes are based on the nine simple principles of healthy eating. With everything out there now, we can get so caught up and spend too much money trying to eat healthy. I want healthy, fresh, reasonably priced meals:)

    The special occation cooking draws me in. Usually around any holiday I waste time going through so many magazines and websites trying to find healthy version of favorite, standard meals. This book comes with them. Easy, breezy 🙂
