If you’re a Weight Watcher, this collection of 500 recipes in a handy loose-leaf binder could put you in the fast lane on the road to success. This cookbook is designed for Weight Watchers’ 1•2•3 Success program: points are assigned to foods based on fat, fiber, and calories, and your daily point allowance is based on your current weight. So you can eat what you want, as long as you don’t go over your allotted points. The better your food choices, the more you can eat before you run out of points.

Recipes are varied and cover the whole gamut: sauces; breads; soups; meat, chicken, fish, and vegetarian entrees; pasta; vegetable, grain, and potato side dishes; and, of course, desserts. The recipes are more healthful but not drastically different from foods you and your family enjoy now. Many are familiar comfort foods, such as Pizza, Oven “Fried” Chicken, Beef Stew, Tuna Noodle Casserole, Chocolate Layer Cake, and Cheesecake. Internationally inspired favorites include Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), Orange-Flavored Fajitas, Moo Shu Chicken, Tandoori Haddock, and Senegalese Peanut Soup. The nutritional breakdown for each recipe is more complete than in most cookbooks, and includes calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, fiber, protein, calcium, and Weight Watchers’ points. –Joan Price

Customer Reviews

I had to call and e-mail twice after my book was never sent! by S. Lapp
It shipped the beginning of December and at the end of January, I had to e-mail amazon (twice) then call to say that I had not recieved my item. The customer service was great, but it should have not been as big of a hassle as it was

Great tasting for the family by Sean Walton
We are impressed with the great flavors from the recipes in this cookbook. The whole family (6 kids, ages 4-12) love what we tried so far.

This version does not have some recipes from the earlier edition.

Who has mussels, veal, and escarole on hand! by T. Aydelotte
I was excited to receive this cookbook convinced that it would help me cook for my family now that I’m a “weight watcher”. Sadly I was very disappointed. I’m no gourmet chef. I have basic ingredients on hand and I can’t afford to buy expensive fresh herbs and exotic foods. So needless to say, the extraordinary number of recipes containing such ingredients in this cookbook left me with very few recipes that I could actually use. The few recipes I have managed to find all the ingredients for have turned out less than perfectly appetizing. Frankly I think this cookbook is more for rich people who live in big cities within walking distance of fresh food markets, not for suburban moms.

Great healthy cookbook by John
This is a very easy to use and tasty cookbook. Most recipes are quick and easy and common ingredients are found throughout. You don’t need an extravagant pantry to create healthy meals.
