I've tried a number of Cooking Light recipes, but they almost always come out lacking depth and flavor. The magazine is well laid out, recipes look tasty and attractive, but they just don't taste very good. I understand that the point is cooking light, but they go too far. I'm a fairly experienced cook and familiar with a wide variety of cuisines and I don't think that cooking light should equal cooking boring, tasteless food. I suppose if you are looking for something lighter than hamburger casserole or fast food, this would work. If you want recipes that are healthy and actually taste good, keep looking. I would recommend Eating Well, which I have cooked with for years, it is a fantastic magazine with wonderful recipes. We once tried a week of Cooking Light recipes and then a week of Eating Well recipes at our house (from the current issues), Eating Well won- hands down.Get more detail about Cooking Light (1-year).
