Book Reviews of Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook
Book Review: Excellent for Foodies
Summary: 5 Stars
I am addicted to the kitchen, I love to eat and I love to cook. This book is challenging enough for me to be fulfilled on both those levels. For instance... The Tandoori Marinade recipe might be a bust for some people who don't keep cardamom, turmeric, or garam masala on hand. But for a foodie who maintains an herb garden and has personal contacts to the Spice Islands for free spices, this is a no brainer winner recipe.
Don't get me wrong, there are some great easy "standards" in this book. Biscuits, Chocolate cake and vinaigrette (my 15 year old made the Raita recipe for gosh sakes). We pigged out on an Indian food meal complete with Naan, for only 11 points. I appreciated that! And so did my husband.
Do you need some skills to own this book? My answer: probably. Do you need to plan ahead to make these recipes? My answer is YES!
Book Review: WW New Complete Cookbook
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I didn't pay attention to the shipping method (I cannot receive USPS where I work) I still managed to get the product as promised thanks to a friend who works right next door. AND I got it in a very timely manner. I will definitely use this seller again!!Book Review: A great book of healthy recipes
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether or not you're doing Weight Watchers, whether or not you're even on a diet, this book is an excellent addition to any cook's library. The variety of recipes within is excellent, from elaborate to simple, for both carnivores and vegetarians, all prepared using healthy ingredients and methods.
From a purely practical standpoint, this is an easy cookbook to use. The pages are durable enough to withstand a bit of splatter and splash (why yes, I am a messy cook, thanks for asking!), and they are bound separately so that the book can be opened flat on the countertop to the page you want to see, or even removed completely to be put back later.
The book is nicely organized into categories so that if you have only a general idea of what you want or what's available in the fridge, you can find recipes that fit easily. Ingredients and instructions are laid out nicely on each page, with nutrition information if you need it. For those who are doing the Weight Watchers Flex plan, the Points value per serving for each recipe is also clearly marked. Basics such as pizza dough and pie crust are included, as well as more elaborate and complete meals.
Since I've gotten this cookbook, it's become my go-to source for ideas and good food. I've tried many recipes from it so far, ranging from Chicken Hash to Spinach and Cheese Quiche, and so far I have not been disappointed. If you're trying to eat healthy, there's lots of excellent and tasty choices here. If you're just looking for some inspiration, don't let the WW logo on the cover scare you off...there's lots of good stuff in here for everyone!
Off to get ready for dinner... tonight, Vegetable Fried Rice! Can't wait!
Book Review: Great for Flex, weak for Core
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know why Weight Watchers doesn't have a Core-specific cookbook, but that's really disappointing. One of the reasons I'm interested in Weight Watchers in the first place is I don't know how to cook, and was hoping for good help in that department. The Core recipes are well marked and quick to find, but of the 500 recipies there are probably 200 that can be eaten on the Core plan max, if that many.Book Review: Great little cookbook for those not wanting to shell out $ for WW
Summary: 4 Stars
As someone who had a great success with Weight Watchers in the past, I didn't want to pay the weekly/monthly fee to get back on track with my eating. This was a great alternative- it's great even if you don't want to go on WW but want to carry on a healthy diet. I've only tried a few recipes, but so far they're great. Good alternative ingredients. The only downside is what other people said - they don't tell you what a portion is (but you can figure it out with most of them).
