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

Love the spiral binding!
This is a great addition to our cook book collection. The best thing about this book is the spiral binding. The book lays nice and flat making it much easier to use. having a good scale also helps. We have the Polder Pocket Size Digital Scale and it is perfect for weighing out small amounts.
If you have the older Weight Watcher's cook books it is time to update to the newer version and get more variety (how many red onion salads can you eat anyway!). This covers the usual point system and core plan systems and includes all the necessary nutritional info. The tips and side bars are great! Lots of good info.
We have tried the BBQ pork with mop sauce and Roast pork Puertorriqueno, But the coolest thing that we have enjoyed are the 2 Bread machine recipes. Caraway Rye and Cinnamon Raisin. both extremely yummy!
The only negatives are it seems that every WW cook book have to many salad recipes in them. The only thing that amps them up are the different types of dressings. They could have condensed all of the different dressings on a few pages and left more room for other dishes. We ALL know how to make a salad. I would have liked to see more bread machine recipes.
The other negative is the quality of the pages. The paper used is VERY thin and rips easily.
Still well worth the 12-17 dollars. Get it.
Great recipes, easy to follow, tasty!
I am delighted with this book which is one of 4 recipe books which I have ordered of the Weight Watchers series. The index is well laid out and lots of thought had gone into this book. Most recipes call for everyday ingredients of which I have most in the house, and the rest is easy to find. This is "every-day" food and certainly not "diet" food! Weight Watchers fits my lifestyle very well as there is little weighing, no additional cooking from the rest of the family and a program which truly is a lifestyle. This book brings great variation to my cooking and introduces great ideas, also for those little treats. This book has become one of my favourite recipe books and one that I will continue using even when I'm no longer on a diet. Well recomended and a great purchase!
A good cookbook for entrees
I like this cookbook and use it often, but I find that the dinners are much better than the sweets and baked goods. I've tried several of the sweet recipes and they don't work out. For instance I just made the rice pudding and I had to add much more milk to keep it from burning, had to cook it for longer than required but the rice still came out a little hard. It's a strange recipe, you cook it on the stovetop and then bake it. The entrees I've tried have all come out very good.
