Default Recipe Cookbooks
What are some of your favorite Low-Cal cookbooks? I have a gift card to Barnes and Noble, and would love some good cookbooks. I also like recipes with pictures
Thanks
Cathy

Cooking Light: Everyday Favorites offers a nice selection of recipes, general cooking tips, nutrition per serving on each recipe, and glorious photos.

I usually buy my cookbooks used - my main criteria is that the nutrition info (including calories, carbs, fat & protein at least) is on each recipe. Then I look to see if the recipes look interesting...Weight Watchers has pretty good cookbooks.

Cook's Illustrated published "The Best Light Recipe" - I've used many of the recipes, and they are not only very well researched, but delicious as well. Well worth the $$- IMHO!

cathy, sorry I can't be of help..just wanted to add there is a fantastic spinach fritatta recipe on the Egg Beaters website for 90 calories....also, I Google WW 1 or 2 point recipes sometimes when I am really looking for low-cal. Good luck..let us know if you find a great one!

Thanks everyone!!
I am going to check out all the books you all have suggested.
I will also try the Google WW recipes. That is a great idea.
Thank you
