Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook Review
I've had several friends swear by using the Weight Watchers program. My family prefers South Beach Diet, but both stress healthy eating and limiting (or better yet, eliminating) simple carbs. I purchased the cookbook to supplement the recipes for the South Beach Diet. Both use spices and herbs to give you a flavorful punch to all your meals. In working my way through the recipes, almost all I'd make again. Several are excellent and I've only found a few duds. But, even the ones I wouldn't make again have given me inspiration to make something similar with some simple tweaks. I recommend this cookbook.

Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook Specifications
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
