Product Review

Even my husband likes it

by   bbbw ,   Apr 24, 2004

Pros:  Flavorful delicious recipes whole family can enjoy, organized index of recipes on the back.

Cons:  Some hard to find ingredients, non-cooking content, recipes require some level of ability.

The Bottom Line:  If you are seeking to have a resource for light tasty meals this is for you. If you are not a cooking enthusiast you might not enjoy it.

Overall Rating: 4/5 stars
Cooking Experience: null/5 stars
Helps Plan Diet: null/5 stars
 

Author's Review

I've been trying to change my cooking in order to make it "healthier" for awhile, and thus far had been unsuccessful in finding recipes that my husband, (a pizza and steak kind of guy), would enjoy. I also have a picky five year old. I was almost at the end of my rope when I decided to give a few recipes I found on this magazine a try. To my surprise they were a big hit with both and as a result I began subscribing to the magazine. Even though the cooking is "light" they don't shy away from flavorful ingredients like butter and bacon when necessary.
The content of the magazine is not limited to food, it also covers exercise, beauty and other topics you would find in regular women's magazine. This may be a turn off to some, especially because the topics are covered ad nauseaum in other publications.
However, it is chock full of recipes. A big help is the index near the back. It lists all the recipes and corresponding pages and is broken down by type of dish (appetizer, dessert, etc), then by ingredient. It also has a color coded "level of difficulty" indicator next to recipes (quick and easy, make ahead, freezeable). This particular feature makes the magazine very user friendly.
That being said, some of the recipes do require more "gourmet" ingredients. I happen to like this but it may inconvenience more casual cooks. I haven't had a problem finding them but I live in a metropolitan area.
A further caveat is that many recipes do require a certain level of competence in the kitchen. I would not recommend this to a novice cook.
Thus far, it has been worth the price of the subscription for me.
