5.0 out of 5 stars Time & Time Again, 13 Mar 2006

By	L. Clare-Panton "mummy/wife/me" (Old Windsor, Berkshire UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

I bought this book several years ago (when it was first published) and I have to say I use it every single week, multiple times a week. My families favourite recipes are out of this cookbook and my husband doesn't even know he's eating "diet" food. The Orange-crumbed chicken is fabulous. Together, my husband and I have lost over 50 lbs and are still working on losing more. We can do it long term only with cookbooks like this. Sure wish they would published another one as we've tried every single recipe in the book. Only a few of the recipes were "failures" (didn't suit our tastebuds).

3.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas, but a few shortcomings., 12 Jan 1999

By A Customer

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

As a "Weight Watcher" myself, I was particularly interested in this cookbook. Indeed, it does have Weight Watchers' unique POINTS values for each entry. And there are dozens of great ideas to choose from. Unfortunately, there are three shortcomings.

First, as another review here pointed out, while the cookbook identifies number of servings, it fails to provide the size of a serving. If I'm cutting-up a baked good, that's one thing. But for a whole pot-full of soup, it means measuring out the whole batch to determine the size of a serving -- very tedious.

Secondly, the recipes are composed of less-common ingredient choices, most of which are based on partial portions. A half-can of this, a sprig of that, when it's unlikely you'd use the rest of the can or bunch in something else. This leads to a great deal of ingredient waste. Why not stick to common items that could be leveraged better in routine, daily cooking, or in other recipes?

And finally, there's still too much fat in many of these recipes. Some would be better off with zero added fat, while others don't need anywhere near the amount they suggest to turn-out perfectly well. Why add needless additional calories, raising the POINTS value? Why add two tablespoons of margarine when one teaspoon (or none at all) is adequate? This seems odd.

But as a basis to stimulate ideas, this cookbook does work -- more or less.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best CookBook I every bought, 2 April 1999

By A Customer

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

I've gotten more use out of this cookbook than any other. Every recipe has been a hit with my family (no misses), and we are all eating much healthier. This book makes it so much easier to follow the WW program because now I look forward to dinner time and cooking.

While most cookbooks are loaded with dishes that are too extravagant for everyday, this book is full of "normal" meals that I never new how to make - or how to make well.
