I am by no means a fabulous cook, but I like cooking and I like eating good food. I love watching the America's Test Kitchen show on PBS. The cooks on the show decide to make something (let's say they are going to make lasagna) and then try all the different recipes out there for lasagna. Then they use a combination of common techniques and/or make up their own to make the best tasting lasagna ever and they tell you why each technique and ingredient worked and what it does for the recipe.
All of their recipes are amazing! My friend Megan first bought me their huge The Best Recipe cookbook a couple of years ago for an engagement present. Then I bought The Best Light Recipe cookbook. Those two cookbooks are my go-to guides for making yummy meals!
The great thing about their light recipes is that they only make things that still taste good lightened up. The light book discusses the crazy lengths they went to try and make a lighter pie crust and they just couldn't do it and have it still taste good. So the book doesn't have a pie recipe. They recommend a cobbler instead if you want a light version of a pie. That's the honesty I really want! Here are a couple of their recipes I have made to rave reviews:
Lighter Chicken Parmesan with Simple Tomato Sauce
Light New York Cheesecake
Any other America's Test Kitchen fans out there?
