 A downright good subscription September 5, 2008
S. Destfino
I love my cooking light subscription. I got hooked a few years ago when I received the annual cookbook for a holiday gift. Since then I've tried tons of the recipes - every month has SOMETHING good in the magazine and sometimes every single recipe is amazing. Not only that, but there are really good tips that everyone can benefit from - no matter how little or how long you've been cooking. I recently started Weight Watchers and to my happy surprise, I could use almost every recipe in cooking light because all the nutrition information is there to calculate the points, so I'm now an even bigger fan because my family doesn't have to change a thing!
Cooking Light Subscription September 1, 2008
Joanne
The magazine is great. Would highly recommend it. What I'm not sure of is ordering it through Amazon instead of directly through the magazine. I ordered it for my daughter's birthday and unbeknown to me, a friend of hers also ordered it for her, directly through the magazine. My daughter is now trying to straighten out both subscriptions so that they cover two years instead of double issues for a year. While Cooking Light has record of her friend's subscription, to date, they have no record of the Amazon, and she cannot yet straighten this out. Hopefully eventually she will.
GET A SUBSCRIPTION!! August 30, 2008

Cooking Light is by every measure the best cooking magazine I've come across. And my girlfriend love it too!
The meals are easy to prepare, even when you don't have a lot of kitchen acumen. They are simple, with all the ingredients listed. Also, the ingredients are usually things you CAN find in the grocery store, unlike a lot of magazine's dishes.
Definitely a good magazine subscription to have.
At the beginning, I tried to make at least 1 meal from each magazine a month. Now, I find myself going back to it at least 3-4 a month. Friends always rave about the dishes I prepare with CL's recipes too.
Big fan of this mag.
Great way to learn to cook August 6, 2008
K. Pyfer (Belfair, WA)
Let me start by saying that I love this magazine. The recipes are easy to follow and 99% of the time taste great! I decided to buy a subscription to this magazine to learn how to cook, since I thought it would be better to know how to cook healthy, lowfat foods. Since I started, I have developed lots of skills and I will even try some more difficult items, all because cooking light makes it easy to follow and the recipes turn out great.
Love This Magazine August 3, 2008
Dorothy Bigsby (Middleburg, KY)
Great selection of recipes that are healthy. Some miss the mark once in awhile (at least for me) but there is enough in each issue to make it worthwhile.
Yes it has ads (it is a magazine) but it does not detract from its value.
Every month I can find something new to try and it works as a reminder to branch out when it arrives.
Highly recommended

| Worth Reading | Heartstart Defibrillators - What You Need to Know Before Buying
By Mark Glazer
The Phillips Company manufactures HeartStart defibrillators, one of the AED, or Automatic External Defibrillators. The company produces equipment designed to assist in public safety. Whether it is airbags, fire extinguishers, home security systems, they specialize in devices that protect the average citizen and those they love.
Heart attacks and incidents of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), account for nearly a quarter of a million deaths in the United States every year. What causes them is not completely understood. Very often, the person will have no history of any kind of heart disease, and a SCA can come at any time, in any place, and disable virtually anyone. HeartStart defibrillators are not only the first defibrillator intended for home use without a doctor's prescription; it is currently the only one available. When you consider that every minute after a heart attack or SCA is vital to the patient's survival, having a device that almost any person can operate increases their chance of living. According to medical experts, the first five minutes after the onset of ventricular fibrillation are critical. If a defibrillator is used within that time period, the patient has the best hope of surviving. However, it has been determined that not even one person in twenty survives a SCA due to the fact that a defibrillator is not available in time.
Automated External Defibrillators are intended for use in offices, restaurants, stores, gyms and countless other locations where medical attention can not be provided in a timely fashion. In the case of HeartStart defibrillators, it has a vocal mechanism that gives very clear and precise instructions in a soft voice that talks a person through every step of its use. The device senses the actions of the user and adapts its instructions based on them. HeartStart defibrillators can quickly decide if a shock even needs to be carried out. If it determines that an electrical jolt is not needed, it can then walk the user through all of the steps of CPR. The machine is powerful and versatile, and a useful weapon in the fight against the ravages of heart disease.
Many smart people have purchased a home defibrillator. Visit AED Defibrillator Information to learn what the Phillips defibrillator has to offer that others don't.
