I bought this magazine over a month ago and have not received it. I was supposed to receive it by now. If you buy a magazine expect to wait.

Heavy cream, gratuitous amounts of cheese, ubiquitous butter, white sugar, white bread, processed foods (like heath bars and corn syrup), white pasta, fatty cuts of meat, I could easily go on. This magazine knows nothing about eating light. Simple carbohydrates, processed breads, and saturated fats are BAD FOR YOU. In moderation, all of these are perfectly fine to eat. Cooking Light, however, fails to reach the goal of “Moderation in all things.”
In addition to the ubiquity of the cream, butter, and processed foods, the magazine is loaded with articles that are just plain useless or at the very least exceedingly superficial. The entire first half contains articles about table settings, Martha Stewart-esque home decorating tips, and recommendation for which dark chocolate is healthiest to eat, set side by side with a Hershey’s Kiss ad.
There’s just something about the rampant hypocrisy of this magazine that irks me. Don’t tell people how to live healthier lives and then call for 10 tablespoons of butter and 2 1/2 cups of sugar on the next page. Don’t advertise Muir Glen Organics and then support Splenda in your next recipe.

I think Cooking Light Magazine is amazing, so I ordered it. It takes time for this order, I have not received it yet.
I’m excited waiting for it.

I’ve tried a number of Cooking Light recipes, but they almost always come out lacking depth and flavor. The magazine is well laid out, recipes look tasty and attractive, but they just don’t taste very good. I understand that the point is cooking light, but they go too far. I’m a fairly experienced cook and familiar with a wide variety of cuisines and I don’t think that cooking light should equal cooking boring, tasteless food. I suppose if you are looking for something lighter than hamburger casserole or fast food, this would work. If you want recipes that are healthy and actually taste good, keep looking. I would recommend Eating Well, which I have cooked with for years, it is a fantastic magazine with wonderful recipes. We once tried a week of Cooking Light recipes and then a week of Eating Well recipes at our house (from the current issues), Eating Well won- hands down.
