Remarkable authentic fresh Italian taste without the fat. Try the eggplant parmigiana. The sauce is amazingly fresh and flavorful. The Aromatic Bean Soup made with fennel bulbs, celery, ginger root and white beans satisfied my hunger for "fat" without adding calories. Don't be deceived by how boring the ingredients look because when the dish comes together, the taste is amazing. The recipes are new, low fat twists on old Italian favorites without compromising taste or quality. I would serve these recipes to guests. Some reviews mention inconsistencies with yield or difficulties. Don't let that stop you from trying this book. I like to cook so difficult recipes are not a problem, but I also appreciate the shorter recipes in the book. The different yields actually help the cook learn how to cut down or increase ingredients for serving self or family members. It's nice to have a book with vegetable recipes and soup recipes that have great taste and little to no fat compared with other high-fat Italian dishes.

I was browsing through this book and was intrigued by the recipes... they seemed simple and I love Italian food. I found several that I wanted to try and then started to notice the nutritional info... they were all so healthy!! Then I noticed the Weight Watchers line in the title! No wonder!
I have tried ten recipes so far in this book and have loved every one! Most can be made with things I already have on hand... no strange ingredients. The chicken marsala was great as was the roasted pepper pesto over penne pasta. We loved the peas with prosciutto. My husband and two teens have loved it all and never knew it was health food. I highly recomend this book for busy cooks who love Italian food. It's so nice to get away from 'diet' food!

If you love Italian food, you'll love this cookbook. It has great ideas for all your favorite foods like Calzones, Deep Dish Pizza, Biscotti, Ravioli, Linguine with Calamari, Meat Filled Tortellini, Mozzarella Bocconcini with roasted Peppers, etc. All of the receipes are authentic Italian. They don't leave out any of the flavor. The portions are good sized and I got to eat all my favorite foods and still loose weight. |

My mom and I have made several recipes from this book, and we have loved them all - and we're Italian! I most recently made the tiramisu recipe for dessert, of which I was a little bit skeptical. We were so pleasantly surprised with the results! It wasn't overly difficult to make, and it tasted fabulous. If you love to indulge in good food like we do, but you want to treat your body right (whether you are on the Weight Watchters program or not), This cookbook is a must! |

We love this book. I haven't made a recipe from it that we don't like, and my husband is a picky eater! Even though I am no longer strictly following the Weight Watchers plan we still turn to this book for our favorites. |
