I just got an email from Oxmoor House advertising this cookbook. I haven't heard of it or looked at it. I have Complete CL (love it), CL 5 star and several annuals. Does this one have different recipes, or just combinations of recipes from different years?

I'm very interested in feedback on this cookbook too. :)

I don't know the answer to the question, but I just wanted to say that I think I saw the Easy Menus at BJ's the other day. They have a half dozen or so different Cooking Light Cookbooks there.

My sister bought a copy last week at Costco for $21.00 and I was only able to take a short glance at it so I can't give you a thorough review but they did have some good quick ideas. I am going there this weekend so I will be looking at it more thoroughly.

I also saw this in Costco for $21.99. I really wanted to buy it - but the price made me put it back for now. I really want the book - it is set up like the fast menus section in the magazine issues. I tried to figure out if there were repeats in it, but I couldn't tell. Honestly, there were enough delicious menus pictured that it seemed worth it to just have the book with all those menus in one easy to find place. I thought I'd check around to see if I can find it cheaper.

I'll be interested in hearing everyone's opinions of this book. I was very close to buying it at the bookstore this morning, but bought Southwest from the Beautiful Cookbook series instead.

heatherfeather,

from what I've seen, there are no repeats. I have already checked half.com and it hasn't made it there yet. I saw it for $22.00 on ebay (someone from B'ham selling it) and then it would cost $4.00 for shipping. Of course, everyone sells it for less than Oxmoor house.

On ebay...(it says $9.99 now but maybe it's the one Wendy's referring to and mine is slow to update or something...)

Well - I checked around and Costco seems to be the best deal going on this cookbook. Amazon has it at just under $25 too - plus shipping, of course. I want this cookbook!
