Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook

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

Customer Reviews & Opinions

deliciously low calorie
This cookbook is old but the ideas are classic, current and innovative. This is the second copy of this cookbook I have purchased to gift to my sister. The language and instructions are easy to follow but the ideas are amazing as the chefs utilize aromatic spices and fresh ingredients to create sensational taste experiences or traditional fare. Using the recipes you can prepare weekly meals for your family or host an extravegant dinner party and no one would ever know that you are cooking low cal, low fat, high fibre and low sodium. All they will know is that the flavours are exquisite and that the food is healthy and superb. Buen provecho, bon apetito, enjoy!

great cookbook
I have already made some delicious meals for my family so this cookbook is very practical for a regular family meal.

Great Recipes!
I purchased this book a couple of years ago, and I have to say…This is still my #1 cookbook. I generally find that, with most cookbooks, you try a recipe or two from them, and really don’t touch it for anything else. With this cookbook, I have tried dozens of recipes, and have added several “staple” meals to my everyday cooking thanks to this book. Some of my favorites include the recipe from the cover, which is a sauteed chicken with fettuccine and broccoli rabe, as well as a recipe called Lemony Spring Risotto. Also, you shouldn’t be afraid to substitute or add ingredients, as long as you know it won’t affect the POINTS value. For instance, there is a great recipe for a tomato, onion, and basil salad in there that is delicious, but I also add cucumbers to it. The Lemony Spring Risotto - I make it without the asparagus.

Overall, I highly recommend this book for your collection!

Great recipes for WW users!
Great cookbook with some traditional and unique foods. I am a very picky eater, so trust me when I say, I love the variety in here. There is even a recipe for Utlimate Nachos!

cook book review
Good book, good food and simple to prepare.

It is likely what the locals eat, rather than the restuarant food, which is what I wanted.

Wonderful gathering of the best of the best Local Hawaii Recipes
This is a great book. It’s not original/new recipes but compilations of the best of the best local Hawaii cookbooks up to the date of population. I own a cramp load of local Hawaiian cookbooks, and this is the one of the two (the other one is 50th Anneiversary Best of Our Favorite Recipes 1946 -1996 by Maui Association for Family and Community Education )I grab for when I want to make a local dish. I have also bought and mailed copies to my friends on the mainland, who have left Hawaii.

Anther local cook book I just picked up you want to try once Amazon starts carrying it, is Jean Hee’s Best of the Best Hawaii Recipes by Jean Watanabe Hee. Hee is one of the top local Hawaii recipe book writers. You might want to check out her other books that Amazon dose carry.

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Better than Betty Crocker!
Viewers, I know Betty Crocker Cookbook has been around for a very long time; long before I knew how to say Betty Crocker, but when I first discovered MaryAnn’s Cookbook, I was living in Cali, and I had to order the Cookbook thru a major Bookstore. Upon reciept of the Cookbook, I started with the Meatloaf by the Professor…It is the best I’ve ever had; now don’t get me wrong I do enjoy making meatloaf the ole fashion way, but that recipe will leave you coming back for more. So I relocated to the South, and left my Cookbook with a relative to use, unfortunately, I never got it back, so I contacted every Bookstore in this town, and everyone is sold out, or can’t order the Cookbook. So, I saw on the Amazon.com that I could order the Cookbook, and I’ve always been reluctant about putting my CC number online, so I sent a MO in to the address listed on Amazon, and to no avail, my MO was lost in the shuffle, I went belistic, so I am now forced to put my CC online in order to get the Maryann Cookbook, and I will tell each and everyone out there, if you’ve tried the rest, then you MUST try Maryann Cookbook, it is the BEST. It’s worth losing the money from the MO and having to go another route to get my Maryann Cookbook. God only knows, I wish I could have ordered the Cookbook from Maryann herself, then I know I would have long recieved my Cookbook by now. Again its worth it!!

excellent
The book is in excellent shape. I purchased it for a fundraiser we are doing at work.

thanks

Ginger or Mary Ann? Mary Ann!! Definitely
This cookbook is super! Try the Double Vision Banana Pie!! It’s fun and easy to make AND it’s super delicious!!

Grannys Beverly Hillbillies Cookbook

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Great Food, Great Fun
Not many things are better than spending time with an old friend, especially one who makes you laugh. This cookbook provides lots of chuckles, good recipes, and great pictures. It is almost like looking at an old photo album, recognizing the unique expressions and almost hearing the familiar voices spout the delightful quotes which are sprinkled throughout the book. It is not only a cookbook but is a book to just look through and enjoy as well. Anyone who watched the Beverly Hillbillies would enjoy reminiscing through the pages. The recipes are a nice mix of true Granny style cooking, such as Granny’s Groundhog, as well as some very delicious recipes, more appetizing to city folk. The recipes are not difficult and there are some to satisfy even the hungriest Jethro in any family. The descriptions of the cast and the history of the show are fun to read. It is a wonderful mix of quotes, trivia, recipes and pictures. If you have to spend time in the kitchen, you might as well do it with Granny!

Granny’s Beverly Hillbillies Cookbook
It wasn’t exactly what I expected, it was better. Alongside the recipes are stories of the characters on the show. I loved it. And I received it very quickly and in great shape.

Aunt Bees Mayberry Cookbook

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Aunt Bee’s Mayberry Cookbook
Being from a small town and now living away from it this book is like having my little aunties giving me their secert recipes… God rest their soul! I wish I had been old enough to ask them for them personally, but I found a lot of them in these two books. This is one of the two Mayberry cookbooks I own.

Yummmy Yum Yum
This is an awesome book. I made the “honest Cherry Pie” and the family ate it up. Serve with whip-cream or Blue Bell Homemade vanilla. (Blue Bell is a Southern/Texas brand of ice cream.)I also gave each of my step daughters a copy along with my daughter. The book show you “Down-Home cooking” at it’s best.. Bravo Aunt Bea!!

Great home cooking
I got this cookbook years ago from my mom, and loved it. Lots of favorite recipes there. Now I give it as a gift and everyone just loves it. And it’s fun with all the pictures and quotes.
