Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

Amazon.com Review:
If you're a Weight Watcher, this collection of 500 recipes ina handy loose-leaf binder could put you in the fast lane on the roadto success. This cookbook is designed for Weight Watchers'1•2•3 Success program: points are assigned to foods basedon fat, fiber, and calories, and your daily point allowance is basedon your current weight. So you can eat what you want, as long as youdon't go over your allotted points.The better your food choices, themore you can eat before you run out of points.

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, of course, desserts. The recipes are morehealthful but not drastically different from foods you and your familyenjoy now. Many are familiar comfort foods, such as Pizza, Oven"Fried" Chicken, Beef Stew, Tuna Noodle Casserole, Chocolate LayerCake, and Cheesecake.Internationally inspired favorites includeDolmades (stuffed grape leaves), Orange-Flavored Fajitas, Moo ShuChicken, Tandoori Haddock, and Senegalese Peanut Soup.Thenutritional breakdown for each recipe is more complete than in mostcookbooks, and includes calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol,sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watchers'points. --Joan Price

I have tried some really great recipes in the short period of time I have had the cookbook and most of them were under the 5 point range.
Rating: - Good Recipes
The book was in excellent condition.So far we have tried 2 recipes, "Southern Oven 'Fried' Chicken", which we added Lemon Pepper and Parsley to it... it was delicious!The other recipe was "Chicken Hash" and that was pretty good too.We always like to add some of our own ingredients and are planning to put Shredded low-fat cheese on top of it next time. We are looking forward to trying other recipes.
Rating: - A very complete cookbook.
If you are only going to buy one Weight Watchers cookbook, this should be the one.There are many different recipes as well as helpful tips, both about cooking and about tweaking recipes.All the recipes I have tried so far are delicious and don't taste "diet."The cookbook has mainstream staples, like food for Thanksgiving, as well as recipes with an international flavor.It's the most comprehensive Weight Watchers cookbook I have ever seen or owned.
Rating: - great cookbook
