 Delicious May 25, 2008

Where I work the cafeteria is incorporating more healthy recipes as part of their menu, and listing points! I had the Steak a la Russe and warm spinach salad, and it won me over. The cafeteria substituted Tri-tip for the bison in the recipe and it was the BEST. I am ordering the book because of these two recipes and I look forward to more. Congrats to our cafeteria for taking an interest in the health & well being of their employees!

This cookbook is excellent. It has recipes from all walks of life in the way of different cultures. I will surely be enjoying it for years to come with my weight loss efforts.
Great Cookbook! July 28, 2005
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is an excellent cookbook. Meals are healthy versions of homecooked food from the main regions of the U.S. I have already cooked several recipes and my family has loved them all. I have served dinner guests with "untested in my kitchen" recipes. The meal was great! Tonight I am using a fish recipe. Can't wait to taste. With cooking like this, dieting and eating healthy is quick and easy.
 A little disappointing July 17, 2004
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
I have recently bought eight (!) Weight Watchers cookbooks from Amazon, and this is the first one I have been disappointed with. I have found it easy to buy or substitute ingredients called for in the other books, but less so with this one (elk steaks, anyone?) OK, it is an "All-American" cookbook, so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised. But this is a word of warning for would-be purchasers living outside the States. And it's puzzling that a few of the recipes call for vegetable shortening (copha). The last time I checked, this was a very unhealthy saturated fat, and definitely not recommend for anyone who is weight - or health - conscious. But my biggest gripe is that the few recipes I have tried so far have been bland or pretty ordinary - which has cetainly not been the case for the other Weight Watchers cookbooks. All up, not really recommended.
Best Southern Foods Section July 5, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I can't speak for all the regions, but the section on southern food is amazing. Having grown up in the South where comfort food is often deep fried, I have really struggled to find authentic lowfat recipes. I can honestly say that the foods in this section were staples growing up (rather than what non-southern people think is southern food). All the recipes I have tried this far have been delicious!
I would recommend this book simply for this section alone, but the foods I have tried from other sections have been excellent too!
