Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-19 00:00:00 Peter Martin I LOVE THIS COOKBOOK. This is somewhat of a surprise - I tried another "Cooking Light" book (Chicken something or another) and was far from impressed. I picked it up from the library and am having a really hard time returning it. It appeals to me in everyway a cook book can. 1.) Tons of gorgeous pictures. And not just a full page pic of a recipe. Pics showing 'how-to' do various prepwork, pictures of produce and ingredients AND pics of recipes. Even pantry pictures - one of my fav things about the book -- a listing of some go-to pantry items for each seasons recipes. 2.) The receipes sound good. I made the Chorizo Black Bean chili over the weekend and it was SO DELISH. I froze left overs instead of pawning them off on some family member outside of my household. This is saying something. I'm going to give chocolate souffles a go next. 3.) Lots of tid-bits of information besides the basic recipe. Lists of in season produce to look for, tips in handling and preparing and choosing said produce. Ideas about how to use them outside of the given recipes. This is a BIG book, and well worth the investment...which I will be making soon.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-02 00:00:00 Byron Pendleton I found this book helpful in establishing what are the freshest foods to look for in each season- specifically fruits, vegetables and herbs. I liked that the cookbook was organized by seasons with a list of the fresh foods. It also included tips on how to cook and prepare specific foods. This is one that I would like to buy for myself. Recommend it for anyone like me who is looking for lighter recipes and to eat foods that are in season.
