Your Opinion: Williams Sonoma Cookbook

[kentgirl]

I love cookbooks! I stumbled across this cookbook at Amazon at a bargain price - reg. $59 on sale $19.99 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1892374358/ref=b_br_ts_sh_2/103-9631335-9551864

The book is called Williams-Sonoma Simple Classics Cookbook : The Best of Simple Italian, French & American Cooking (Complete Series

I've never tried a Williams-Sonoma recpie. The description doesn't say the recipes are light. Anyway, I love to get your opinon on this book and Williams-Sonoma cookbooks in general.

Thanks!!

As someone who worked as a manager at a store, I can tell you that VERY few of the recipes will be light, BUT you could probably lighten most of them up yourself, if you are interested in the book!

I have tried a couple of the recipes off the website and thought they were great! You can lighten a lot of them by omiting or subsituting the oils and fat.

Has anyone subscribed to their new cooking magazine? I always love to look at the catologs and they have some good recipes included in the catalog, so I was wondering how the magazine is.....

Thank you both for your advice. I probably won't order the cookbook. There's too many recipes out there already light.

But it's such a good price..... http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif

Hi,

About a year or so ago I bought a cookbook called, "Mayo Clinic Williams - Sanoma Cookbook," Subtitled "Simple solutions for eating well."

It is a fine Cookbook, and Sharon and I have used many recipes from it. If you were to look at this cookbook I'm certain you would find the recipes to fit right in with Cooking Light.

I got it at Barnes & Noble, and I was at a B&N in Rochester, MN just a week or so ago and I saw that they still had it in stock.

I paid $29.95 for mine and have felt it was worth it.

Happy Cooking,

Ed
