This book is one of the greatest cook books. Recipes are varied and cover the whole gamut: sauces, breads, soups, meat, chicken, fish, and vegetarian entrees; pasta; vegetable, grain, and potato side dishes; and desserts. Many are familiar comfort foods, such as pizza, oven "fried" chicken, beef stew, tuna noodle casserole, chocolate layer cake, and cheesecake. Internationally inspired favorites include dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), orange-flavored fajitas, moo shu chicken, tandoori haddock, and Senegalese peanut soup. The nutritional breakdown for each recipe includes calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watchers' points.
First, it offers a comprehensive overview of the Weight Watchers philosophy outlining the Points System and the basics of nutrition. After the introduction, you get a whole lot of good recipes ranging from those suitable for a single person to for a whole family. It is organized by meat type and has a handy index of recipes. Each recipe is broken down to show you how many points are contained in the servings. For all recipes, each takes up at most one page, so you don't have to flip through pages mid-cooking. The book is spiral bound, which makes it very easy to use in the kitchen.
One of the nice things about this book is that it stresses the importance of using herbs and spices in your food, making the food pretty interesting and appetizing. Most recipes are concocted from easily found items that are not usually expensive, thus allowing you to lose weight while saving money and becoming healthier.
This cookbook was easy to understand and well organized. It is also very helpful around the holidays for appetizer and dessert ideas. Even for non-weight watchers these are some really good, useful and tasty recipes.

I've only had this cookbook for two weeks, but it has already totally re-shaped the way I cook. I don't have time to go to meetings and don't have the money to join Weight Watchers, but I DO count my points. Before this cookbook came along, I was hard-pressed to stay under 30 points per day, and my food was sooooo boring! I can easily stay under 22 points per day with this cookbook, and there's sooo much variety! I just sit down on Saturday and plan out my next week's menus, then pick everything up at the grocery store on Sunday morning. For a busy person like me, that works best, but if you're not quite as busy, you can probably plan your meals on a day-to-day basis. What's even better is that my fiance likes the meals, too... and he's not even trying to lose weight. About 3 1/2 pounds have come off in less than two weeks and my favorite pair of pants is so loose that I was stepping on my own pantlegs the other day. Great cookbook for those wanting to lose weight.
Only one word of warning: If you don't like to cook, or if you're wanting "simple" recipes, this is not the cookbook for you. I personally think the recipes are relatively simple, but I love to cook and have a ton of kitchen tools to make the dicing, slicing, chopping, and mincing a lot easier. I can see how someone who's not familiar with a kitchen would just throw this book on the pile with their other unused cookbooks; there's a lot of kitchen and food prep work in the recipes I've tried so far, so kitchen-phobes should stay away. |

All recipes that I have tried out of this book are great. These are recipes that are low fat, and they do not taste low fat. Recipes are flavourful, easy to prepare, and for the most part have ingredients that are common to most kitchens. I have actually made of these for people not on diets and was asked for the recipe. I would highly recommend this anyone that wants a decent recipe book. The book does contain a small amount of info regarding their program.

Weight watcher or no weight watcher, I love this marvellous cookbook simply for the absolutely, positively scrumptous recipes. Many are unique, simple and easy, yet your family or guests will think you spent hours upon hours in the kitchen. What attracted me to the book was the simple fact our family likes to eat healthy, low fat meals - not to lose weight but to prevent weight gain, and to maintain optimum health while still getting our required daily nutrition. This fantastic book fit the bill and my entire family enjoys the recipes and most are are a cinch to prepare. The thorough nutritional breakdown was a real plus and not always found in other cookbooks.

I have been a Weight Watchers member for a long time (over 2 years) and I have succeded in losing over 115 pounds on the diet. I did that by making the recipes from the weight watchers cookbooks. They have hundreds of recipes that are good for you, low fat, and meals that the whole family will love... even if they do not need to lose weight.
I especially love this book because it also has mouth watering pictures. My sister just bought the cookbook because she recently joined weight watchers and she made 2 recipes in 2 days and her whole family loved the meals.
This is a must buy cookbook for any avid cooker.
