Book Reviews of The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook
Book Review: Wonderful Receipes
Summary: 5 Stars
As I sit here munching on a piece of yummy Kalua and Cinnamon Brownie (although it is really more a cake) with only 64 grams of fat in the whole 8 inch square pan, I thought it was time to share my thoughts on this cookbook. The reason I mention the entire pan is that the portion sizes for most of the deserts are unrealistically small in order to come down to a small sounding fat count. This one thinks you can get 16 servings out of an eight inch square cake that is only a half an inch high! I don't know many people who will stop after a 2 inch square of this cake. I suggest you calculate the entire fat content for the pan, and cut up the pieces into more generous sizes that satisfy, rather then ending up eating a huge quantity of bitty pieces. Even a more realistic 4 inch square only has 8 grams of fat and it is good! Aside from this I have few complaints. This book is packed full of wonderful recipes, all of which taste great and also happen to contain a moderate amount of calories and fat. Most are very quick and easy. Some of the ones I will make again include the Almost Tempura Chicken, Tai Style Pumpkin soup, Mocha Pudding Cake, Raspberry Muffins and Fried Chicken Salad - the buttermilk breaded chicken in it are great by themselves and of course the Brownies. The only disappointment so far was the Microwave Pudding which was not flavorful enough for me. The portion sizes for everything except the deserts are generous. This is NOT the only cookbook you will ever need though. There is no breakfast section or even an entry in the index! This is pretty surprising considering that a good breakfast is a very important part of eating in moderation. There are breakfast like recipes scattered about, smoothies in beverages, pancakes and muffins in breads, and egg dishes under eggs, but no easy way to find them. The section on recipes containing no meat was small. The sweets sections were huge, especially the selection of breads, most of which hardly anyone will have the time to make. I kept thinking why not breadmachine recipes when I stumbled over a couple of them at the end of the chapter. The directions are clear, but do not contain enough information for an inexperienced to cook to prepare with confidence. There are enough photos to stimulate the eye, but not one for every recipe - which I personally don't mind. All in all a worthwhile and highly recommended addition to any competent cook's bookshelf.
