Summary: MY MOST TREASURED COOKBOOK
Comment: I originally purchased this at KMart years ago. There are so many great recipes - my most favorite being the spinach/vegetable lasagne. THAT recipe alone is worth the cost of the book.
In 2008, I misplaced my original book and immediately ordered another from amazon. THAT is how much I love this book - can't be without it. When I find my original book, I will pass along one book to my cooking brother-in-law.
If you get this book, you will love it as much as I do. It's broken down by segment - meats, meatless, soup, appetizers, etc. There's just a ton of recipes! I usually Post-It note my faves - I'd say I have at least 50 tags on this book!!!
If you get this book, make the spinach lasagna - and then write a review and let me/us know what you think!

Summary: Cooking Light: The Lazy Gourmet
Comment: Turns out to be a great addition to my shelf of Cooking Light Cookbooks! I purchased The Lazy Gourmet a few weeks ago because of my positive experiences with this series (and the magazine) but I didn't expect it to be this good! I've previously been disappointed with some of those "six-ingredients-or less" type cookbooks because the recipes aren't *really* six ingredients--you have to add several more just to get some flavor, and/or they rely too heavily on convenience foods. But so far, The Lazy Gourmet has delivered on its promise, without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. These aren't "instant" recipes--they do (mostly) list more than six ingredients and they do take more time than slapping a chicken breast in a pan with prepared Teriyaki sauce--but we're talking gourmet here! You expect to cook a *little*! There is some use of mixes (low-fat brownie mix, for instance) but in my experience the convenience-foods in the recipes, like frozen hash browns (in a delicious portabella-mushroom & Asigo cheese brunch dish) or frozen mixed vegatables (in a pretty, savory, stuffed crookneck squash side dish)work well--and the completed recipes taste good, are low-fat, and look like they took a lot more time to prepare then they did! Try the awesome stuffed chicken-breast recipe, with a spinach and prepared low-fat pesto stuffing (and a coating of cornflakes) at your next dinner-party. It's delicious and looks great. After only a few weeks, I have gotten five stellar, entertaining-quality recipes out of it. That justifies the purchase price as far as I'm concerned.
