Book Reviews of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

Book Review: Not for me. A single woman in her 20's.
Summary: 2 Stars

I cook maybe 4-5 times a week at home and between work, after work work-outs, church, and other social activities I don't have alot of time to spend in the kitchen. Also, I don't like to buy alot of different kinds of exotic (to me) ingredients because they go bad if not used, or are very expensive for me to use just a pinch of it in one recipe when cooking for myself. For this reason, this book was just not for me. I guess I was looking for more basics and thank God I ordered Devin Alexanders book (The Most Decadent Diet Ever!: The cookbook that reveals the secrets to cooking your favorites in a healthier way) because her book had how to make everyday cooking better and healthier. This Weight Watchers book does have ALOT of recipes, but most of them I would never use or ever think to make because I had never heard of them, their ingredients, or they just sounded too complex for my taste. I'm a simple eater and I love to cook but I'm nowhere near gourmet. Some examples of the meals that I see just flipping through the book include Seafood en papillote, Pan bagnat, Pasta fra diavolo, Turbot a la Nage, Spicy wheat berry-chickpea medley, different risotto's, Senegalese peanut soup, Orecchiette with broccoli rabe, Borscht, Cioppino, Mulligatawny, Vichyssoise, Keema Samosas, and this list goes on and on. Some of these might actually be good, but there were so many of them that I decided to return this book because I wasn't looking for an experimental cookbook. There were very few recipes for stuff that I would actually cook such as the Maryland Crab cakes, mac and cheese, easy enchiladas, creamed spinach, Linguine Alfredo, and garlic roasted chicken with gravy. I did think that the stocks and sauces chapter as well as the marinades, rubs, condiments, and dressings (also breads) chapters were great for anyone wanting to try these things from scratch (maybe one day, right now, I don't have time to make fresh bread). I thought this book was more for people or parents that really spend alot of time in the kitchen and want to make different healthy meals for their whole family to try together. Otherwise, I would spend alot of money trying out these recipes. I would have kept it for the few recipes I would use, but for almost $20, I would rather try for another Weight Watchers book or one by someone else that I would use on a weekly basis.
