Book Reviews of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

Book Review: A GREAT BOOK TO LEARN TO COOK YUMMY AND LOWER-CALORIE RECIPES!
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely LOVE this cookbook! It is full of all the basic recipes that one needs to know to cook well and also has many excellent, healthy, good-tasting creations. After I joined Weight Watchers I had to learn how to cook differently. I had always used the Joy of Cooking as a guide, but I needed to learn how to cook with lower fat and calories. I checked out many cookbooks, but this was the best one by far for good, basic "how-to" recipes (sauces, soups, etc.) with lots of calorie-saving and flavorful ideas I would have never thought of. It is wonderful to have "diet" food that everyone loves! Many familiar recipes done differently and lots of new and international ideas too. I got the ring-bound version which stays open while you are using it, which some of the newer WW books don't have. Nice photos too. An excellent investment!

Summary of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

The Healthy Cook's Best Kitchen Companion

Eating well and losing weight have never beeneasier-or more delicious! This comprehensive Weight Watchers cookbook is packed with more than 500 fresh and flavorful recipes for every meal and virtually every occasion. With countless cooking tips, helpful how-to's, and sixty color photographs, Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook is the all-in-one kitchen resource you'll turn to again and again for great ideas and inspiration.

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or something special to spice up a weekend brunch, you'll find a variety of recipes to choose from on every page, ranging from classic comfort foods to zesty international dishes.

Throughout, Weight Watchers nutrition and cooking experts offer you simple, flexible ways to achieve your weight-loss goals without giving up favorite foods.

Here's what is inside:

  • More than 500 healthy recipes, including Core Plan recipes and POINTS values for every recipe

  • Information on Weight Watchers' popular Flex Plan

  • A brand-new holiday baking chapter, with recipes from around the world

  • Handy recipe icons (for Core Plan, 20 minutes or less, spicy, and 5 POINTS values or less)

  • Complete nutrition information-including trans fats

  • Valuable tips, how-to's, substitutions, and leftover ideas

  • And much more


If you're a Weight Watcher, this collection of 500 recipes in a handy loose-leaf binder could put you in the fast lane on the road to success. This cookbook is designed for Weight Watchers' 1.2.3 Success program: points are assigned to foods based on fat, fiber, and calories, and your daily point allowance is based on your current weight. So you can eat what you want, as long as you don't go over your allotted points. The better your food choices, the more 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 more healthful but not drastically different from foods you and your family enjoy now. 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 is more complete than in most cookbooks, and includes calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watchers' points. --Joan Price
