The Best Light Recipe is different. In response to the increasing interest from our readers to shed the same obsessive attention the right ingredients and techniques for the guaranteed foolproof recipe for lighter foods, we are pleased to offer more than 300 guaranteed foolproof full-flavored, lower fat and reduced-calorie recipes, 95% of which are completely new! Each recipe lists calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, protein, fiber and sodium per serving to help you cook smart.
From chunky guacamole to brownies, from macaroni and cheese, lasagna, and spaghetti and meatballs to blueberry muffins and even chocolate cake and cheesecake, we tested and retested our favorite recipes until we arrived at the best recipes that cut calories and fat without sacrificing flavor. We also recognized that we couldn’t do the impossible- so if we weren’t satisfied with the results in our kitchen, the recipe didn’t make it into the book. Nor did we include recipes that relied on smoke and mirrors to reduce fat and calories, like beef stew with only a forkful of beef or cookies the size of quarters.
The Best Light Recipe, packed with more than 100 illustrations and 16 pages of full-color photos, also includes naturally healthy recipes tweaked to be even lighter and healthier, like gazpacho, poached salmon, stir-fry chicken, grilled tuna burgers, and pan-roasted asparagus. And the healthy techniques you’ll learn, including using milk and cornstarch instead of cream and butter to make a simple pan sauce (trust us, it really works), or reserving the good olive oil to lightly drizzle on your pasta before serving (when you use less and get the most flavor), will last over a lifetime of healthy cooking.
The Best Light Recipe also features objective equipment ratings and ingredient tastings, from the best muffin tin and Dutch oven to the best soy sauce and chicken broth, as well as illustrated tips and techniques, from slicing flank steak for stir fries, to creating the best deep-fried crust without actually frying. In short, it is your essential guide to lighter, great-tasting recipes that deliver every time.

Good basic recipes 2008-05-04
These are some of the classic recipes lightened up. I particularly like the product comments and advice. The broccoli soup recipe is worth the price of the book. They say small amounts of half and half work best.
This is a very detailed - how to make it - for classic recipes. Not as many recipes as I would have liked. Great for a beginning cook or someone new to lighter recipes. The product advice is the biggest benefit for me.
Pretty good, but not perfect 2008-04-21
Overall, I have been pleased with this book. I have tried a fair number of the recipes, and although there were a handful of "misses," the good definitely outweighs the bad. Furthermore, there are some good calorie-cutting (but flavor-preserving) ideas that you can glean from their recipes and apply to other favorites.
On the other hand, the book isn't perfect. In addition to the occasional bad recipe, the book sometimes lacks the coherence you might expect from a book like this. While one fried chicken recipe uses Melba Toast as a coating, a chicken parmesan recipe uses toasted panko bread crumbs. The reason for picking one over the other in somewhat similar recipes is never explained. Furthermore, many of the recipes -- especially the quickbreads and the desserts -- aren't enormous calorie savers (although many of the meat and pasta recipes really shine in this regard).
These complaints aren't terribly serious, though, and in general this is a good book for people looking to trim some calories from their meals without sacrificing all of the flavor.
Every recipe a winner. 2008-03-29
The recipes in this book are amazing. I've always loved The Best Recipe series, as well as Cook's Illustrated. This cookbook goes a step further by lightening up their amazing recipes without losing any of the taste. I bought one for my neighbor too.
OK, but not that great 
2008-02-24
I was very disappointed with this book. They touted it as "light" recipes (according to the title of the book), yet many of the recipes only reduced the calories of the original recipes by only a few calories per serving. The other problem I have with these recipes is how incredibly labor intensive some of them are. The recipe makeover for Chicken Parmesan is absolutely ridiculous!! If you want a cookbook of healthy recipes that a working person can actually prepare on a weeknight get the latest Ellie Krieger or Evelyn Tribole cookbooks. If you want to get this cookbook, just make sure that you have hours devoted to preparing extremely labor intensive recipes!
