Reviews about The Best Light Recipe
| 423 of 437 people found the following review helpful  Lighter yes, but a "diet" book this is not, By This review is from: The Best Light Recipe (Hardcover) This book isn't quite 4 stars, in my opinion, but alas, no fractions...Let me start by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Cook's Illustrated. I subscribe to their magazines and their website, I watch their PBS show "America's Test Kitchen" and I own several of their books. What I love about CI is their scientific and educational approach to cooking and baking. They never throw a recipe at you and expect you to go at it blindly. All their recipes are prefaced with a detailed write-up of their test kitchen trials and tribulations...they painstakingly test every single recipe and they take you along for the ride. What you get in the process is not just a "recipe", but a deep understanding of why a recipe works, and with it a better understanding of cooking and/or baking in general. You will definitely improve your skills in the kitchen if you are exposed to CI. With all that being said, it is no surprise that I eagerly anticipated the release of this book. It didn't take...

Creating a play-by-play diary for each recipe, the Test Kitchen describes the low-fat ingredients and combinations of ingredients they tried for each recipe, their experiments with cooking methods, and their results, including the reasons for rejecting all but the final recipe.The end results are sensational. Here you can indulge in lower-fat macaroni and cheese, cheesy chicken enchiladas, guacamole, eggplant parmesan, and fudgy brownies. In fact, if they hadn't shown the fat content and calories for a standard recipe beside the content of their improved, low-fat version, you would not be able to tell by taste that most of these recipes reduce the amount of fat by about 65%. The creamy macaroni and cheese reduces the fat by an amazing...

I mean, up-in-smoke not-even-the-dog-would-touch-it bad. Bad, bad, bad. I naturally blame my husband for this problem, because I had been a really great cook when I met him. But through the years of his working for restuarants (at night, of course) and having kids, I got out of the habit. So when he finally started showing up at the dinnertable, the fare had become dramatically worse. Actually, aside from macaroni and cheese, it seriously stank. Enter my need to re-educate myself. That's when I bought my copy of the Best New Recipe. I had known, from a newlywed subscription of Cook's Illustrated that Christopher Kimball and his team left no asparagus unturned when it came to cooking. I remembered an article on how to steam broccoli. Seriously--they tried every single way up to and including any ridiculous folk tale to find out the best way to steam broccoli. These... Read more |
