Focused on "healthy living" rather than chronic dieting, Cooking Light is geared towards both the veteran cook who wants to "lighten up" and the novice determined to give up prepackaged "diet" meals. Each issue covers a different theme, from "superfast suppers" to "pretty, easy fruit pies," and includes features on food-related health trends; fast, healthy meals; and original recipes from readers. We especially like it when the editors rescue a reader's favorite, albeit fatty, recipe, giving it a healthy makeover, showing before-and-after stats on calories, fat, and cholesterol. The message is clear: you don't have to sacrifice the foods you love once you learn to "eat smart." --Daphne Durham

Great Tasting, High Quality Recipes I credit Cooking Light magazine for teaching me how to prepare truly healthy and delicious meals without sacrificing flavor and quality. I also admire the fact that most of their recipes call for and encourage whole foods and fresh ingredients as opposed to all of that processed stuff made to be low-fat artficially. Most of the recipes are fairly simple and quick to prepare, the desserts actually turn out well (which is sometimes uncommon when avoiding excess fat), and the featured dishes are quite diverse in the sense that there is always something to please every palate, whether that of a gourmet or a child. Another plus is that many of the recipes can be enjoyed by those following low-carb lifestyles. The articles on healthy living are also very enjoyable. I highly recommend Cooking Light for all who delight in good food and are conscientious about their well-being.
Everyone loves this magazine! Not only have I subscribed for several years, I've given half a dozen gift subscriptions, and everyone loves Cooking Light. I think it's because the food is still yummy, and you don't feel guilty because it's good for you (or at least, not nearly as bad). The nutrition content is useful information, and there are plenty of pictures to help visualize the final product. Some of the recipes are too complicated for me to feel like bothering, but most of the recipes are perfectly manageable. A worthwhile investment (and Amazon.com's price is a lot lower than CL's own subscription rate!).
Fun, Informative for Food and Health While I no longer subscribe, I find myself borrowing friends' copies, because this is just a great magazine. Not only are there informative articles about health, workout poses, product reviews, and the like, but the recipes really are great. I love the fact that they take a cherished family recipe (you know the kind, with 10,000 calories) and morph it into something far healthier yet still tasty. Also, these magazines stay relevant. I mine my old ones often for ideas to make my family's meals healthier. It's consistently a worthy read, with fine photos, and even better recipes.
