Don't buy this book. 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

I recently decided to start weight watchers from home. I purchased this book expecting to learn the concept and how-to of the diet. It has a few pages of facts and figures, then some recipes - which don't even denote how many points they are. It doesn't talk about points at all - and isn't that what weight watchers is all about? I ended up borrowing a start up kit from someone who had joined in the past, which has been a staple in my diet. This was a complete waste of my money, I think I will throw it away.

Good exchange based cookbook (not point based - too old) 5 out of 5 stars.

Of course this book doesn't talk about points, as the previous reviewer mentions, because it was written before the point system was developed. Back in the "dark ages" aka prior to 1997, Weight Watchers was an exchange based diet. I wish Weight Watcher's would have kept the old program, at least as an option, as it is so compatible with the Diabetic exchange diet I am following. My husband is diabetic and I am prediabetic, so I've been scouring amazon and used book sales for exchange based diabetic and pre-1997 Weight Watchers cookbooks. This is a great book, but I might not have scored it a 5, if the previous review hadn't been so low, as it's not the BEST exchange based book I've ever read, but it is still quite good for what it was intended as.

Even though this is out of print, you can find used ones on half.com. I sold mine because I never used it. I hope this is helpful for those of you who still want to buy it.

This is an excellent way to enjoy Mexican Cusine and stay slim. I gave my copy to my son who is also counting his fat grams. I am disappointed to learn that this book is no longer available. I went to a Weight Watcher office in Sugar Land Texas and they gave me the bad news.

This book still available! 5 out of 5 stars.

I did a search and found this book is still being sold elsewhere. Best buy is on ecampus.com, books. It may be out of print, but many other bookstores still have copies. I did a search on allbookstores.com and found the best price. Good luck!

The title says it all! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful cookbook, it truly is a shortcut book and the recipes are incredibly easy and incredibly delicious!! The points are calculated for Weight Watchers but also calories, fat, protein and carbs are given as well for those who are counting calories, etc. These are my family's favorite recipes, even my 5 yr. old granddaughter helps me prepare them. This was by far the best investment to my cookbook collection and I know I'm preparing healthy food for my family.

Not for me 2 out of 5 stars.

I bought this cookbook a few years ago when I was a slave to convenience foods. At the time, it fit in my lifestyle with its recipes that have prep and cooking time of only a few minutes each. The problem was, I wasn't too much into cooking at the time so it sat in a cupboard for a few years.

I am cooking a lot more these days, but I'm still a beginner. I recently grabbed it off the shelf and looked through it for some quick and easy recipes. After reading through the entire book, I've decided that I will try a few of these recipes, but many of these recipes aren't even appetizing. And the good recipes are no-brainers for even novice cooks.

For example, one recipe calls for adding sugar and cinnamon to pre-packaged dinner rolls to make cinnamon-sugar rolls. Similar recipes with pre-packaged foods as the core ingredients are used throughout this book. I would have liked to see more shortcuts using fresh ingredients, and a little more originality in the recipe content.

Although this book was not for me, it is not to say that this cookbook is completely worthless for all audiences. It might be great for someone who does not enjoy or have a lot of experience cooking. Or, busy moms pressed for time can pull some fast & easy recipes from this book in a pinch without much shopping, prep, cooking, or cleanup time.

It won over this skeptic 5 out of 5 stars.
26 of 26 people found this review helpful.

This is a fabulous Chinese cookbook, not only for Weight Watchers members but also for those interested in the taste of Chinese cooking without all the extra fat and calories. Being a Weight Watchers member, I was a bit skeptical that the lower-point recipes would be flavorful and satisfying, but I am now a believer. The egg drop soup is so much more delicious than anything I've ever eaten from a take out restaurant. It is a light soup with some unexpected flavors, such as black mushrooms. The Kung Pao Chicken recipe was much better than many 'regular' recipes I've tried. I love to cook Chinese dishes at home but I've never succeeded in getting them to look or taste like something from a restaurant, until now.

I would recommend this title to anyone looking for a good basic Chinese cookbook and would encourage any Weight Watchers members interested in moderate point, yet delicious recipes to buy this book!
