Semi-Homemade Cooking Made Light (Paperback) by Lee, Sandra

Obvious to anyone except those who made it beyond middle school and don't yet realize, say, butter, heavy cream, fats, starches, etc, in general aren't very 'light.' - duh - not a worthy invesment in my opinion. So far I've tried 16 of these recipies. Though reasonably light and 'different', I've yet to find any I find 'inspirational' beyond average common sense by the average cook. Cooking times and temperature matters, taste and texture, flavor balance, presentation, etc.: I also have some concerns these recipies were not well kitchen tested after being penned. I suspect this cookbook more of a commercial vs. creative venture - despite much enjoying certain other Sandra Lee projects.

Great easy lowfat receipes. Easy to convert into Weight Watcher points.

My husband and I like to watch Sandra. I like the way she cooks. It's not like some of the other cooks who say, oh you have to use this certain type of ingredient but you can only find it in specialty stores. She is down to earth the recipes she uses you can find the ingredients in any store. I also like the way she gives ideas of different ways to set up the tables and she uses materials you can find very easy. Sandra is the best. Linda Contreras

i really enjoyed the healthier recipes in this book.

great layout for a cook book, nice print to read and the book is easy to handle in the kitchen. I gave it as a gift and was well received.
