 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’s Pot Pie Day so the pot pie caught my eye. A lightened version would be nice. I like the idea of new varieties, photos, and cooking healthier. Plus, the Margarita Ice Cream Sandwich sounds so different and good.

    The feature that appeals to me most is that it is from Cooking Light. Some of my favorite recipes have come from Cooking Light and I have several of their cookbooks.

    Really like learning more about nutrition and now they are doing the 9 simple principles of healthy eating. I have thought about that for a while and have tried to avoid all the faux foods and additives and artificial flavors and colors.

    I love the pictures in it. I’m hoping the ones on the cover look as good as the ones in it!

    I’m always one to base recipes off of pictures

    It appears to be a cookbook that uses REAL food and presents a balanced diet. No fads, just good food fixed in ways to provide good, enjoyable meals. This approach is the best as far as I am concerned. It makes it much easier to stick to a diet and maintain the weight once it is lost.
    Thanks for bring this book to my attention.
