Editorial Reviews

Review

"Where no food is a sin" is a slogan for the British version of Weight Watchers®, and this book illustrates that tenet. The recipes, arranged by type, do not sound like diet food—e.g., Bacon, Egg and Cheese Casserole, Pork and Rice-Stuffed Cabbage, Berry and Cream Cheese Open-Face Sandwiches, Fettuccine with Gorgonzola and Toasted Walnuts, and Boston Cream Pie. Mexican, Italian, German, and Moroccan are a sampling of the international flavors of the all-time favorites. The recipes that are suitable for Weight Watchers' Core Plan are marked with an icon, and POINTS® are listed for the Flex Plan. Nutritional information is also included, and each recipe is followed by a suggestion or hint. Although some of the recipes are similar to those in other Weight Watchers cookbooks, fans of the system will enjoy this new source. Recommended for culinary collections as a general cookbook with simple and fast dishes that are delicious.

Really good recipes, including a large slow cooker section that includes quite a few recipes from the much sought after & out of print Slow Good Weight Watchers cookbook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bought sealed in a bookstore - wish I could have looked inside first, June 26, 2008

This review is from: Weight Watchers All-Time Favorites: Over 200 Best-Ever Recipes from the Weight Watchers Test Kitchens (Spiral-bound)

I bought this at my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, and it was sealed so I couldn't look inside... I bought it hoping I'd like it, and decided to go ahead and post my review here for others who are considering this book.

The recipes are pretty straightforward, I'm not sure what a different reviewer was talking about becuase every recipe I found, the ingredients could easily be bought at my local Safeway or FoodMaxx. There are a lot of recipes in the book.

My only disappointment in this book is the lack of pictures. When it comes to what's for dinner, I'm very visual and a meal will LOOK good before it SOUNDS good... the fact that so few of the recipes have pictures was a turn off for me.
