5.0 out of 5 stars from a WW'er, April 23, 2006

This review is from: Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook (Ring-bound)

I've been on Weight Watchers since the end of Oct 2005 and have successfully lost 56 lbs so far. Sometimes it's hard to find good, healthy recipes that my non-WW'er husband (who is also a picky eater) will enjoy, too.
My mom bought me this cookbook for my birthday and so far we have tried out a couple recipes already.
There are so many recipes in this cookbook that even picky eaters will enjoy!
I love the fact that not only are points listed on each recipe, but also the nutritional value per serving. And core recipes are indicated, also!
I believe this cookbook is useful for any person who wants to cook healthy recipes - whether they are on Weight Watchers or not!

This is an excellent cookbook. I did hours of research both online and at the bookstores looking at Weight Watchers cookbooks. I wanted one that had a lot of regular recipies and common dishes my family would eat. It also has some different things to try. But great for staples like bread, pizza crusts, beef dishes, desserts. Would recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delicious but high in points., January 9, 2007

This review is from: Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook (Ring-bound)

I am a returning Weight Watchers member and recently purchased this book. I love the recipes that I have tried so far; they have reinvented a lot of favorites like Spaghetti and Meatballs and Corn Chowder. The only thing that is dissapointing is that if you want a good amount to eat it will cost you big points. For example: the Corn Chowder is 4 points a serving, serving size being 1/4 cup. 1/4 cup is not enough for me to enjoy the soup I just labored over for a hour. All the recipes I have reviewed in this book are like that, little serving for major points, so if you don't have a high point range, I wouldn't recommend this particular cook book from Weight Watchers. Also, in regards to a previous post about the serving sizes, all the recipes DO have the serving size including for soup. The serving size is the first thing listed after the recipe near the Nutrition Information, which I found helpful, so that I didn't have to measure the whole completed recipe before eating.
