Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 634
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--This text

Ring-bound edition.

![]() | | | If you buy only one cookbook, it should be this one | | (Rosamond, CA) June 19, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars | | I've seen a lot of the Weight Watchers cookbooks, and this is the most
all-purpose general-appeal one I've seen. I'd even go as far as to say
this is the Joy of Cooking for the Weight Watchers crowd.
Many of these recipes... read full review |
![]() | | | Nice book | | (Minneapolis, MN USA) October 1, 2002 - 4.0/5 stars | | Good cookbook and I am hardly a master chef. Handy recipes with lots of
different kinds of food (plus the Points values! yay!) Only minor
quibble is that it would be nice if all recipes had photos. |
![]() | | | Disappointed. | | (US) February 1, 2000 - 1.0/5 stars | | I love the recipes in the Weight Watchers magazine, so I thought I would
love the cookbook. Wrong! There are very few pictures that show the final
product--pictures often convince me to try the recipe. In fact, the whole... read full review |
