 Weight Watcher's Great Cooking Every Day May 8, 2008
J. Heston (Northern Michigan)
This is an exceptionally good cookbook, with wonderful photographs, as well as easy to read and follow directions. The ingredients are easily found, and the taste factor is 100%. For anyone on the Weight Watcher's program, and maybe even especially for those who are not, this is an excellent way to prepare meals that are healthy, flavorful and have great eye-appeal.
GREAT BOOK!!!! March 31, 2008
Misha (Orange County, CA, USA)
I must say I am really happy I bought this cookbook. It is really great. I love cooking and I am always happy to learn something new. I like to make my own sauces, salad dressings, even pastry. And this book is really about that. It simply guides you step-by-step trough the recipe, every recipe contains nutrition facts which help you to understand what you eat. Authors used plenty of fresh fruit, vegetable and herbs and most of the ingredients are commonly used in your kitchen so you don't have to do shopping for each recipe separately, which saves you money and time. This is another reason why I love this cookbook. It's a really great cooking for every day.
PS: And good thing is, the book even inspired my husband to look into our kitchen cupboard and he made a great dinner.
A wonderful WW cookbook for avid gourmet chefs! February 17, 2007
G. Harrison (Canada)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of my favourite WW cookbooks. I love the concept of WW collaborating with the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) to produce a collection of gourmet recipes that are WW friendly and healthy.
You can WOW your family and/or guests with these recipes from start to finish and nobody would ever guess that they're WW and you won't feel as though you're falling off the bandwagon if you're following the program.
A couple of caveats: this book is not intended for people who don't enjoy cooking and/or have little experience in the kitchen. These are a bit more in-depth and require more prep and cooking time. The second thing to watch out for is the # of Points per recipe. Some of the values are as high as 13 Points per serving. In short, if you have a low Point allocation per day, be careful about the recipes you choose to make and/or your portion size.
Outside of that, this is a fabulous book for avid and curious chefs who wish to experiment with concoctions created by WW and the CIA. You will feel like a gourmet, accomplished chef without the guilt of preparing and eating unhealthy and fattening foods. Enjoy..

LeeLee (Chico, CA USA)
We all have to eat each and everyday. This book gives a great selection of meals to choose from. I cook almost, only Weight Watcher meals and this book adds to my collection to choose from.
I have lost almost 40 lbs since Feb. 1, 2006 and only have 6 lbs to go and I know I will always use Weight Watchers as my live style and cook recipies from the Weight Watchers cook books.

W. Davis Dechert (Madison, WI US of A)
These recipes are really very tasty and wholesome. I usually cook out of the New York Times Cookbook and the Weight Watchers' recipes are on a par with Craig Claiborne's -- and that's really saying something!
