Average Rating: 
Rating: - Tasty and good for you!
I bought this cookbook a few weeks ago and my husband and I are happily eating our way through it. We haven't found a bad or flavorless recipe yet! Our current favorite is Faux Gumbo followed closely by the Oven-Fried Chicken. All of the recipes use commonly found foods and spices, so there is no hunting for strange items in the store. I highly recommend this cookbook!
Rating: - This is a really great cookbook
Even for non-weight watchers these are some really good, useful and tasty recipes. There are alot of recipes (over 500) and great color pictures. The recipres include *re-dos* of some common high fat items ( like sauses, dressings, dips desserts, cream soups) Entrees for poultry, beef pork, lamb, fish shellfish, pasta... its very comprehensive. Even thos there are some ethnic recipes the ingredients required dont seem far out and could be gotten in most grocery stores alot of the time.The only thing i have a bit of trouble with is that the points are calculated for *serving size* but you dont know if that is a cup or a few ounces...or whatever. It makes it a bit hard sometimes to figure out, when cooking for a family, if you will need to double a recipe to feed everyone. but that is really a minor point..... there is also a section on breads where the points seem closer to the diet-breads than the regular breads but look womderful. The dessert section is very good and the sweetner seems to be used is sugar, not a substitute. You could use a substitute yourself... but there seems to be a general emphasis on *real* ingredients..which is nice.The book itself, being plastic spiral bound is VERY nice as it sits flat on a kitchen counter and makes following a recipe directly from the book very easy. It is set up for using the winning point system but also includes other nutritional values (cal, fat,cholesterol,sodium..fiber..protein etc) I can see it being helpful on alot of diets becuase the info is so inculsive.There is a section on nutrition in the beginning and a short explanation of the winning points system. Certainly not as complete as you would get at a WW meeting...but you will be able to see how many points, for your size, you should be eating. And there are 6 pages of general point values. Also very helpful if you dont go to ww or want to substitute in a recipe. This is a very good cook book.
Rating: - The greatest cookbook for POINTS followers
I have another cookbook, one of those basic Betty Crocker cookbooks full of recipes like making high fat sauces, cooking big hunks of meat, which I bought thinking "oh yeah that has everything" but never used it. Whereas this Weight Watchers cookbook that I just got for my birthday in May, I have used many times. This cookbook has a lot of basics like descriptions of difference spices and techniques to cook with less fat and more flavor. It also has a huge range of recipes, all with the POINTS breakdown. A lot of the recipes are classical updates using less fat, but there is a section of different ethnic foods that is fantastic. This is a great cookbook for anyone who likes traditional food and is trying to eat more healthy with less fat and more fiber! The hardcover edition makes it easy to open up and leave out on the counter while you are cooking.
