 Tasteless and Complicated Recipes! January 11, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I LOVE to cook, I LOVE to experiment with unusual recipies, and I was so excited to get this cookbook. But after making about 15 recipes I have to admit: I don't love it. Out of everything I made, about half turned out tasteless or gross. Eating healthy doesn't have to mean disgusting food, but this cookbook believes it! What's worse: You have to have the equivalent of a fully stocked produce section in you kitchen to make the meals! All the vegetables are fresh (and therefore expensive) and each recipe uses lots of different kinds. For example, the turkey meatloaf used green pepper, carrots, onions, celery, zucchini, whole wheat bread crumbs....and all prep work to clean and cut up the fresh produce is insane! The turkey meatloaf was okay, but definitely not worth all the hard work. The Cod Stew actually turned my stomach. I served the spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce to guests for dinner and was humiliated by the lack of taste (and lack of food) on the table. I took an entire afternoon to make the Whole Wheat and Mushroom Calzones from scratch (waiting 2 hours for the dough to rise, etc) and was so disappointed by the nasty taste I wanted to cry! Another problem I had with the cookbook was that it would give the point value for a serving, but not tell you how much a serving was! A cup? A pound? A little help here?!?! I'm giving this book 2 stars just for the ring binding and the possibility that there MAY be a good recipe in here that I haven't discovered! Until then, I've gone back to my trusty Better Homes and Gardens cookbook and punched the nutrition information into my Points Calculator and---VIOLA---my own yummy Weight Watcher's Cookbook that is much better than the original.

Good Cookbook but some recipies are relativly complicated and require a lot of ingredients. Others, however, are easy and don't take much time. I would say that I will use about half of the recipies. All in all, worth the money.
not exactly for the small town girl January 5, 2008
It does have some really good recipes, but if your from a small town like me, some of the things are not located at the local grocery store.
 A good book indeed January 3, 2008
There is a great deal of variety in the recipes, but often times they don't add enough seasonings. I know which kind to add but some might not.

The prepping directions for Weight Watchers recipes are more complicated than they need to be. Also, too many exotic indredients are used. I can't find these items in my grocery store and there is no way my kids are going to eat things like Mango Chutney. I would have liked to know how big each portion is. If I was good at knowing how much to eat, I wouldn't be overweight. Another thing that bothered me was that this book was actually a cheaply made plastic comb edition and was printed in China! Weight Watchers doesn't make enough money, they have to cut corners by printing and assembling this book in China?
