I received a lot of compliments on the recipes that I tried from this cookbook for dinner parties this past summer. Published by the people who bring you the magazine "Cooking Light," the contents break down into: Salads, Sandwiches, Soups, Stews and Chilis, Pasta and Noodles, Rice, Grains and Risotto, Beans, Eggs and Soy, Pizza and Tarts (and this is a big chapter on pizzas,) and Sides. Multi-cultural with a focus on healthy seasonal eating.

Most of the recipes looked pretty good, and I always appreciate images with each recipe, I'm just too lazy to make some of them or buy the different ingredients. Definitely informational and interesting for someone looking to go towards a more plant-based diet.
