IMPRESSED!!! August 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As an experienced cook, I am not a fan of low-fat cooking and fat-free substitutions. So I was hesitant to give this cookbook a try. I am so glad I did. I love it. I am following Weight Watchers to shed a few pounds and I find these recipes to be really delicious, close to the real thing and easy to do. So far I have made the Shrimp and Pork Wontons, Kung Pao Shrimp, Pan-Steamed Vegetable Dumplings, Chicken Empanadas, Japanese Eggplant and Tofu in Garlic Sauce and the Neopolitan Cookies . This really satisfies my craving for ethnic food and still allows me to get creative in the kitchen while following Weight Watchers. My non-dieting boyfriend loves the dishes I cook from this book. I highly recommend this cookbook for people who love to cook and are following WW or just trying to eat healthfully.
great recipes! July 28, 2008 This book arrived in a timely manner as promised. It has some great recipes that my husband and I have enjoyed in the last few weeks. Every one that I have made has turned out well except for the Chapati (Next time I will roll the dough into 5" circles instead of 6"-7"). The only issue that I have is that the book is already falling apart. I plan to take it apart, hole-punch the pages, and put it in a binder. In spite of that, I highly recommend this cookbook for all of the delicious recipes that fit in our weight loss plan.
Meh July 18, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I chose two recipes out of this cookbook -- a Mexican chicken and rice dish and a Greek pasta casserole. The Mexican chicken and rice dish was so spicy, it was unpleasant! The Greek dish had the opposite problem -- it was incredibly bland. Neither one was inedible, but it wasn't anything I'd ever cook again.
I guess I'm in the minority -- I was super unimpressed. My family picked at both meals, and refused to eat the leftovers.
Great Replacement Recipes! July 7, 2008 This recipe has all kinds of great recipes. When I started dieting, I was disappointed that I had to give up several of my favorite asian and italian recipes. This great cookbook has several healthy versions of these recipes including general tso's chicken and orange spicy beef.
My only complaint is that the binding for the book isn't good, and pages started falling out almost as soon as I got the book. Maybe I got a defective book, though. Why do they make cookbooks with anything other than spiral binders anyway?
wasn't thrilled June 9, 2008 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was hoping that this cookbook had more traditional american take-out recipes, but was disappointed to see too many exotic recipes for my taste.
