I don't eat red meat or fowl, but almost every such recipe here is easily adapted to a non-meat version...AND there's an entire chapter devoted to vegetarian dishes. The layout is easy to read and use, the ingredients not too wacky but definitely not boring, and my results have been amazing...though perhaps the best recommendation I could give it is that not one of my dinner guests has known they're eating a WW recipe. Try this book - you won't be disappointed!

A wealth of great tasting recipes  Apr 13, 2003 By Stephanie Manley
This is another great cook book put together by Weight Watchers. Thanfully they have given up the way to make recipes be counterparts of their high fat, high calorie cousins. This book will have you running to the store for a few ingredients for some of their recipes. They will be tasty. Honestly I loved this book as there are many good recipes that are much lower in points than 8. For those who have family that is not on the program, I think you will still be satisfied as the food is actually good. Their instructions are easy to follow, and while you may need to go to the store to pick up an ingredient or two, it works well. If you like a little variety, and don't mind using a special ingredient on occasion this book will work well for you.

Good Book to own  Feb 23, 2006 By Richard P. Dimarzio "casual cooker"
This is a great book for food ideas. If the 4 weight watchers books I own, this one I use the most. I find the food selections in here best meet what I want to eat. Often friends join me for dinner (2-3 times a week) and they always comment they can't believe I'm on a diet. Given that information, if you're fighting the battle of the bulge and your family's eating habits are not helping, this might be a good book for you to use.

One warning I would give about this book is that each of the meals do require some prep time. More then I was originally expecting. So this is not the "fastest" book in the group I purchased. But the trade off is the meals (when you double the amount) make for great lunches the following day or two. So in the end, I`ve expanded my skills in the kitchen, I've made a better tasting meal for friends and myself, and I've lost weight doing it.

The test of a good cookbook...  May 08, 2004 By Red Panda
... is how many of the recipies turn out well the first time, and how many you would cook again. "Simply Delicious" meets both criteria. We haven't tried a recipe from this book we didn't like. Weight Watchers cookbooks are brilliant at presenting delicious and decadent recipes that won't leave you feeling deprived. For example, there's a yummy "Maple-Glazed Popcorn Snack Mix" with only 3 points (163 calories and 5 grams of fat) per serve. My husband didn't believe it was a Weight Watchers recipe, but made it anyway. Don't tell anyone, but we smuggle it into the movies! Then there's the "Cinnamon-Peach Almond Pancakes" and the "Confetti Corn Cakes", which make a great brunch with a little low-fat sour cream and smoked salmon on top. See what I mean about decadent?

Simply Wonderful  Nov 17, 2003
I can't say enough how good this cookbook is, it has the most appealing receipes that I have seen to date in WW cookbooks. I have planned weekly menues and have so many bookmarks it is unreal.
