Summary: The test of a good cookbook...
Review: ... is how many of the recipies turn out well the first time, and how many you would cook again. "Simply Delicious" meets both criteria. We haven't tried a recipe from this book we didn't like. Weight Watchers cookbooks are brilliant at presenting delicious and decadent recipes that won't leave you feeling deprived. For example, there's a yummy "Maple-Glazed Popcorn Snack Mix" with only 3 points (163 calories and 5 grams of fat) per serve. My husband didn't believe it was a Weight Watchers recipe, but made it anyway. Don't tell anyone, but we smuggle it into the movies! Then there's the "Cinnamon-Peach Almond Pancakes" and the "Confetti Corn Cakes", which make a great brunch with a little low-fat sour cream and smoked salmon on top. See what I mean about decadent?

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: I can't say enough how good this cookbook is, it has the most appealing receipes that I have seen to date in WW cookbooks. I have planned weekly menues and have so many bookmarks it is unreal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the title says it all
Review: I considered joining WW for a long time before actually doing so, entirely because I *love* to cook and was afraid to put my favorite recipes through the POINTS calculator. As it turned out, I was right to be afraid (mostly because I've never met a a dairy product I didn't like and my recipes reflected such) but that no longer matters because I've now got a new favorite cookbook.

I don't eat red meat or fowl, but almost every such recipe here is easily adapted to a non-meat version...AND there's an entire chapter devoted to vegetarian dishes. The layout is easy to read and use, the ingredients not too wacky but definitely not boring, and my results have been amazing...though perhaps the best recommendation I could give it is that not one of my dinner guests has known they're eating a WW recipe. Try this book - you won't be disappointed!

Review: I know this got very good ratings--stars--but I was totally underwhelmed by this book. I returned it. I don't need another book that doesn't have the kind of recipes I like to cook.

Summary: Fabulous
Review: One of the best cookbooks! I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoy my new beverage of choice. Made from 100% organic soy, taste just like coffee and no caffeine. Finally, I got rid of that wired up feeling all day and feeling great. Look for it on the net by googling "s o yfee".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the title says it all
Review: The recipes were easy to create and the food ended up being delicious. Makes staying on the WW point system so much easier. Would highly recommend this book if you are on the Weight Watchers points plan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mostly Untradtional Stuff You'd Never Cook
Review: This book contained a great deal of recipes that were just stuff that you wouldn't really cook. I found FOUR recipes I wanted out of it and I'm not a picky eater.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: This is another great cook book put together by Weight Watchers. Thanfully they have given up the way to make recipes be counterparts of their high fat, high calorie cousins. This book will have you running to the store for a few ingredients for some of their recipes. They will be tasty. Honestly I loved this book as there are many good recipes that are much lower in points than 8. For those who have family that is not on the program, I think you will still be satisfied as the food is actually good. Their instructions are easy to follow, and while you may need to go to the store to pick up an ingredient or two, it works well. If you like a little variety, and don't mind using a special ingredient on occasion this book will work well for you.
