Chicken

I'm not an expert cook, so I don't feel qualified to comment on the quality of the recipes themselves. But the food tastes great to me, the recipes are simple, and they encourage me to cook with exciting ingredients that I would normally avoid (e.g., what is fennel? Well, tomorrow I'm making the recipe on pg. 100, and I'm really excited about it). By far the best part of the book is the fact that every single recipe has a giant one-page photo of the finished product, and one small photo showing prep work or ingredient selection. This is how _all_ cookbooks should be designed and written. It's so nice.

I love the size of this book and all of the wonderful pictures that are displayed for each recipe. I also like that Cooking Light includes the nutritional information for each dish.

The recipes take a boring meat (chicken) and make it scrumptious. We haven't found a recipe we don't like yet! Some of the recipes take a long time (chicken dumplings) but others are quick for weeknights. The book is well-organized with one-dish meals, dinner tonight (for faster recipes), on the grill, and recipes to serve company. The nutrition information is always included and the meals (if you stick with the portion size suggested) are "heart healthy" as most of them don't use chicken skin.

I am a cookbook junkie, and this is absolutely one of the best cookbooks that I have purchased in a long time. This is a must for anyone trying to eat healthy for the new year. There are wonderful photos of every single recipe.

I love this book- great family frienly recipes that I actually use. I've made several dishes out of this book and my family loves them. Buy this book ;) if you want something you can make with items in your kitchen that's healthy and tastes good.
