Light Basics Cookbook: The Only Cookbook You'll Ever Need if You Want to Cook Healthy: member book reviews

(1 review)

This is a great cookbook for novices as like the name implies, there are a lot of basic cooking instruction. The version I had was spiral bound and laid flat. I found many recipes that I just couldn’t wait to try. There are no pictures, but the margins are filled with calorie and nutritional content, and helpful hints. Most of these recipes had a nice twist on an old favorite (like lentil soup with goat cheese garnish). For each recipe they tell you what equipment you will need, what of the prep to do in advance and also the nutritional info including fat, calories, carbs and protein per serving. This is definitely a cookbook for those who want to learn how to cook with a large introduction instruction section with easy basic recipes to start out on like tomato sauce and tossed salad with vinaigrette. There are also a lot of good recipes if your are not interested in the basic instructions. However many of these recipes are also found in her other cookbooks. This would be a great gift for someone who wants to learn how to cook, but does not know where to begin.
