So far so good. 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

So far so good... I agree that pictures would DEFINITELY motivate me to try more of these recipes! I already made the lasagne from the cover, probably because of the picture. Inside the recipes are just text. But if you're vegetarian and are trying to follow WW this is an unusual find!

Weight Watchers Vegetarian Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

What a great cookbook with easy to follow recipes. As a semi-vegetarian, I found that with any of these recipes, a protein/meat could be added for those that may not choose a vegetarian lifestyle. Because it is sometimes a bit difficult to get the recommended amount of vegetables per day - I found this cookbook to give plenty of suggestions, many of which can be frozen and then re-warmed at a later time. Kudos' to weight watchers for coming up with such a versatile cookbook!

Editorial Review:

One of the greatest challenges for vegetarians is keeping the fat levels in their diet at a healthy level -- Weight Watchers makes that easy with fresh, delicious meals that are short on fat, and long on flavor. Weight Watchers Versatile Vegetarian brings you 150 easy recipes that highlight the best of vegetarian food -- from delectable lasagna and other pastas, to pizza, main course salads and sandwiches, skillet meals, appetizers and creative side dishes. Recipes are low in fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to heart disease and many forms of cancer.

Happy new vegan loves this book 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I think all of Dr. McDougall's books are very very good. The cookbooks are really a big help to me as I learn how to cook this new way. The China Study got my husband and I started in this direction and we are very happy it did! We do feel a lot better already but expect to feel even better after a few more months (we are in our first month). This is a cookbook that I plan on using for a long time. I also like the Almost No Fat Cookbook by Grogan (it uses no animal fat).

McDougall changes lives 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I was amazed that the professional reviewers of this book had such a "bah-humbug" attitude about them! The program is hardly "draconian" as one reviewer put it -- you eat all you want of healthy, good tasting, real food. My mother discovered McDougall ages ago, before any of these glossier books came out -- and at 83, she still takes no medications and at her last check-up, the nurse commented that her "heart was like a teenager's!" The hardest part of staying on McDougall is that you have a whole culture working against it -- all those high-fat foods or this strange culture of the "high protein" diet. People think you're some kind of "weirdo." But the usual American diet isn't weird, right? We can buy meals in minutes with 1200+ calories and 69 fat grams and never even have to leave our cars! Read the reviews by the people who have actually tried McDougall -- they loved it. Even people who are enticed away from this way of eating area always wanting to go back to it. It does take some dedication at the start -- one is breaking some very old habits. But it's worth a try. McDougall has decades worth of healthy patients to reinforce what he's been developing since his earliest days as an MD. He's still a practicing doctor, still a researcher, and continues to grow and learn about nutrition, health and the vegan diet. Atkins died overweight and very sick. John and Mary McDougall are still healthy and robust -- and so are the people who actually follow his nutritional advice. Does that say something? Within the past couple of years, my brother-in-law, inspired by my mother's experiences on McDougall, tried it out. He was widowed, had had a heart-attack, and was looking for a better way to eat and be healthy. A couple years later, he's healthier than he's ever been in his life and wishes he hadn't waited so long. Of course, McDougall's real secret weapon is his wife, Mary McDougall. She's the true reason that John McDougall can convince people that they can still 'eat well" on a vegan diet. She's a nutritionist by training, and after so many decades, is no doubt one of the foremost vegan chefs around, always coming up with new recipes for both old and new favorites. I applaud them both for helping so many people discover a health and way of life they never knew they could. I recommend an earlier book, "The McDougall Program: 12 Days to Dynamic Health" as a better "starter" book than his later cookbooks. Give the McDougall program a try. You'll be amazed how fast you start feeling better, even if you felt pretty good before!

Non-gluten delectabilities! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

After going gluten free a year ago, I thought I'd never bake anything good again. But this book and its predecessor, The Gluten-free Gourmet, changed my mind! Because I'm also sugar free, baking is an extra large challenge. But these recipes along with xylitol sweetener have gotten me back in business. What a great find! Thanks, Bette!

Kudos to Bette Hagman! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks to Bette Hagman's clearly written, informative cookbooks, it is very easy to enjoy a gluten/wheat free lifestyle. This book is not only power packed with excellent recipes, but with tips on maintaining a gluten free lifestyle.

It makes me think of the spiritual, "Free At Last." A modified version for the Hagman books could be "Wheat free at last, wheat free at last..."

Thank you, Bette Hagman!

Editorial Review:

Bette Hagman's first book, The Gluten-free Gourmet, brought good-tasting food back into the lives of the millions who are intolerant to the gluten in wheat, oats, barley, or rye, or who are allergic to wheat. Responding to a flood of requests for "more, more, more," she offers more than 265 additional gluten-free recipes for tasty meals. Now with a gourmet look, this book is as irresistible as ever for gluten-intolerant chefs and their families.

I feel that Dana is an old friend as she always adds little tips and comments every thing I have made as turned out wonderful I love her little extra comments I have all her books so far

Extremely Helpful! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This was my first Dana Carpenter book. I had already been introduced to the low carb way of eating, but Dana's book makes it so much more interesting! Her humor and healthy tips inspire me to be faithful. The variety of recipes expand my menu ideas considerably, and also are a springboard for recipes of my own creation.

Because I liked this book so much, I also bought Volume 1 of "500 Recipes" cookbook for myself and 3 others. This second volume, however, is my favorite. I also just purchased Dana's "How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost 40 LBS." book, and am enjoying it very much, which I heartily recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about lo carb eating, and also to those who need motivation to continue. It is full of excellent health info.

If you need new recipe ideas, or instruction on how to eat low carb, Dana provides it all in a fun and interesting way. Dana is a great mentor on the path of a low carb lifestyle!
