Wow! Gourmet Weight Watchers

If you expected the usual from-a-can processed fare from the Culinary Institute of America, well, you must be kidding yourself! This is great, easy to make fare that is more than good - it's great! I haven't found a single dud in this entire cookbook. What's better is that I actually find myself using the whole cookbook (as opposed to preparing recipes from only a single section). I really recommend this book to anyone who wants to eat really great food on a tight calorie budget!

Great Tasting Healthy Food

I started Weight Watchers a few weeks ago, and had a really hard time finding a way to make creative food and figure out how many points it was. This book made all of the difference. I have made about 25% of the recipes already and I LOVE IT. Everything tastes great. It is not complicated to make, and I am still able to prepare gourmet food for my family. Highly recommend for anyone, dieting or not.

If you love good food...

If you love good food you will love this cookbook. But it's not the source for run of the mill recipes. It's for people who love to taste and enjoy special flavors and who'll take the time to get a few uniques ingredients that make dining a pleasure. I so love this book that I have given it as presents to frineds I know will enjoy it.

Finally! Thrill the scale AND the tastebuds!

A great cheer of congratulations for this wonderful book. The people at Weight Watchers have published several cook-books before, filled with recipes that stayed within their dieting guidelines, but they must have heard one too many comments of "Yes, it's healthy, but...it tastes a little like cardboard." So they've gone to the experts: The Culinary Institute of America. This wonderful collaboration has resulted in the best of both worlds: Healthy food (which even fits into their newest "1-2-3" program) that tastes FABULOUS. Because if we're at Weight Watchers to begin with, we must love food, right? Now there's great-tasting food that won't go straight to your hips and that's the sort of cook-book I like.

excellent support

As a new member of Weight Watchers, I was looking for something to use that would support my weight loss efforts. This book is an excellent choice. Each recipe is presented in a very easy-to-understand format. In addition, each recipe offers calorie info, fat, sodium, carbohydrate, protein and calcium info per serving. The Point amounts are clearly stated for each recipe which makes it so easy to keep track of on the plan. The recipes are fresh and new; things like Spicy Asian Grilled Shrimp and Broccoli with Orange Sesame Sauce are delicious. This is very nice addition to my cookbook collection and a great tool to have around while I learn to change my eating habits.
