Great cookbook for WW 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Since I am attending Weight Watchers, many in our group have gotten the Hungry Girl Cookbook. I had to go through and put the Points on each recipe but this did give me a chance to read each of them extensively. One lady in our group decided to eat all new recipes from this book for a week and she lost 3 lbs. These are so easy to read and follow, and it is a fun book for ideas.

Editorial Review:

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

2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I am a busy mom with not a whole lot of extra time to be goofing around in the kitchen. PLus I am tired! I can have a healthy dinner for my family quickly! LOVE IT!!

This Is One Book You Really Need!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I can tell you from my experience in buying this particular WW book that the recipe's are fantastic and all stay true to the timing of the recipe's! Even the 10 minute meals are GREAT!! My hubby was skeptical about eating the 30 minute meals and he absolutely loves them and NOW HE is making them! He's really the better chef in this house since he retired and he absolutely loves this cook book! You WILL lose weight with this book if you follow the instructions and get the right ingredients-don't worry!! And you'll NOT BE SORRY you got this book-that's for sure. I had a hard time choosing which one to start with and I'm so happy I chose THIS ONE b/c of it having 10, 20 and 30 minute recipe's.

Also don't forget to buy yourself a WW calculator-it's an tool that is very valuable for days when you're on the go and don't have time to cook anything in this book! You can get them on Ebay for $20 if you look around and not have to pay tax OR shipping. I got mine from some place called something like: Treetop Collectables or something close to that. I just know it is GREAT and a HUGE HUGE HELP as this book I got at Amazon. Also, I was shocked to buy this book from Amazon and get it TWO DAYS LATER!!! I didn't pay extra for fast shipping either-got the free shipping and presto-I had the book so fast I was shocked!! Folks, we live out in the boonies and they STILL got me this book so quickly after I ordered it-it was unreal!!

You won't regret buying this book-trust me!! It is GREAT!!!!!!!!

Editorial Review:

If the old saying "butter plus salt equals flavor" is true, somebody neglected to tell the folks at Weight Watchers. Simply the Best is a testament that good food need not always be accompanied by dietary guilt and that flavor doesn't have to be sacrificed in the name of health. The book's more than 250 sensible low-fat recipes cover the culinary spectrum, from entrees such as Bella Braised Chicken to desserts such as Strawberry Crepes.

While the book is designed to accompany the popular Weight Watchers diet program, it can be used by anyone interested in healthy, delicious, low-fat food. The prizewinning recipes are contributed by Weight Watchers members and staff from across the U.S., Canada, and England. For chefs new to low-fat cooking, Simply the Best is an excellent resource for learning flavorful combinations to substitute for traditional high-fat, high-caloric fare. Most inspiring is the sheer variety of recipes included in the book and the unique variations on old themes. While it may sound unconventional to purists, the Apple Cranberry Pie with Granola Crust is wonderful, and the Chicken Marsala with Green Grapes would go well on any table.

Bought sealed in a bookstore - wish I could have looked inside first 3 out of 5 stars.
10 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I bought this at my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, and it was sealed so I couldn't look inside... I bought it hoping I'd like it, and decided to go ahead and post my review here for others who are considering this book.

The recipes are pretty straightforward, I'm not sure what a different reviewer was talking about becuase every recipe I found, the ingredients could easily be bought at my local Safeway or FoodMaxx. There are a lot of recipes in the book.

My only disappointment in this book is the lack of pictures. When it comes to what's for dinner, I'm very visual and a meal will LOOK good before it SOUNDS good... the fact that so few of the recipes have pictures was a turn off for me.

A can't fail cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

Had to add another five-star review here. As the male side of a Weight Watchers household, I've approached some of the recipes hesitantly. Let me tell you, after more than a year of using this book, not one recipe has failed to impress! They are all quick and relatively cheap and easy to make. Tasty too!

A Godsend for the short-of-time, calorie-conscious cook 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

5 ingredients? 15 minutes? I can do that. Need to watch points or calories? Weight Watchers is great for that. Recipes here I like:

1. Fettucini and shrimp,
2. Athens-style grouper
3. Summer squash over polenta
4. Taco chicken wraps

One of the best of Weight Watchers. shopping list in front, points and exchanges on recipe. A winner.

We've used this for three years -- works every time 5 out of 5 stars.

Three years ago, My wife took our daughter to Weight Watchers and the gym simultaneously to drop some weight thus preventing a "Big" girl in Ballet. The wife signed up for both just to keep the daughter company and on track.

It worked. My wife dropped 24 pounds and looks like the girl I picked up on that train 27 years ago, perfect size 5. (yeah Roseanne, I know beautiful just doesn't come in size 5)

I also dropped 20 pounds, -- It's the cookbook.

But I gained it back after doing the Bill Phillips 12 week Body for Life transformation, this time though, it's lean muscle.

We're all prety happy about it and bought a mirror for the wardrobe door first time in 20 years.

Get it and cook out of it. it works, the food is interesting and tastes magnifique.
