Amazon.com 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

I like this cookbook and use it often, but I find that the dinners are much better than the sweets and baked goods. I've tried several of the sweet recipes and they don't work out. For instance I just made the rice pudding and I had to add much more milk to keep it from burning, had to cook it for longer than required but the rice still came out a little hard. It's a strange recipe, you cook it on the stovetop and then bake it. The entrees I've tried have all come out very good.

"Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook", copywrite 1998, 2007 printing, is a good cookbook for Weight Watchers. However, it could have been great, with some more attention to detail.
I did Weight Watchers back in the early 1970s, when Weight Watchers was still a new organization. Back then, the diet was simple and strict. It was a low-fat Atkins type of diet. It was difficult to stay on the diet, as eating urges developed. Over the years, the Weight Watchers program has gotten more sophisticated and more complex. Currently, the program uses a 'points' system and has changed from a 'diet' to a way of life. Over the years I 'visited' the Weight Watchers program, again and again. The recipes have gotten better and more tasty, using herbs and spices for more flavor.
There are some problems with the cookbook. More photos and drawings of finished dishes are needed, so beginning cooks can aim for the best results. The format of the recipes causes difficulties, because it is not easy to spot the recipe 'points' or to assess serving sizes. The book does not have enough really simple recipes for beginning cooks. Perhaps it should have a beginner's section.
Quibbles aside, the dishes are good, healthful, and tasty.

This cookbook is great, actually anything from weight watchers is pretty good. I am not trying to lose weight, but my brother is and so my brother's girlfriend has been using these recipes. Honestly, they're absolutely delicious. Even without trying to lose weight I would go out of my way to come home for dinner to eat meals because the food is just that great.
I highly recommend buying this book the recipes are great, weight watchers tries to unsure that you get all the nutrients and vitamins you need to be healthy, and everyone in the family would eat it. definitely get this book!! you will love it!
