Editorial Review:
If the old saying "butter plus salt equals flavor" is true, somebody neglected to tell the folks at Weight Watchers. Simply the Best is a testament that good food need not always be accompanied by dietary guilt and that flavor doesn't have to be sacrificed in the name of health. The book's more than 250 sensible low-fat recipes cover the culinary spectrum, from entrees such as Bella Braised Chicken to desserts such as Strawberry Crepes.
While the book is designed to accompany the popular Weight Watchers diet program, it can be used by anyone interested in healthy, delicious, low-fat food. The prizewinning recipes are contributed by Weight Watchers members and staff from across the U.S., Canada, and England. For chefs new to low-fat cooking, Simply the Best is an excellent resource for learning flavorful combinations to substitute for traditional high-fat, high-caloric fare. Most inspiring is the sheer variety of recipes included in the book and the unique variations on old themes. While it may sound unconventional to purists, the Apple Cranberry Pie with Granola Crust is wonderful, and the Chicken Marsala with Green Grapes would go well on any table.
Weight Watchers has helped teach millions of Americans to lose weight and keep it off while incorporating delicious, good-for-you recipes into a daily diet. Now, Weight Watchers brings you the very best in low-fat, low-calorie cooking: an award-winning collection of 250 outstanding dishes from across the country. These recipes -- Weight Watchers members family favorites -- are sure to win kudos from your own friends and family. They're so delicious and easy that they're certain to become a regular part of your cooking repertoire -- and your family will love every healthful bite. Simply the Best has a recipe to please every palette: Asian Meatballs, Corn and Bean Chowder, Cranberry Basmati Rice, Chicken Tetrazzini -- plus a wealth of selections from soups and appetizers to main dishes and desserts. Simply the Best contains completely up-to-date Weight Watchers weight loss program information and each recipe includes complete nutritional data. Its stylish design and full-color photography make it attractive enough for gift-giving.

I bought this cookbook in the mid 90's when I first started attending Weight Watchers. I made a few of the recipes and for the most part, was unimpressed by them. After flipping through the book again recently after re-joining Weight Watchers, I discovered that most of the recipes seemd unappealing to me or had ingredients I don't typically use. For example, one salad requires 'sushi rice,' which is difficult to make! I don't know why anyone would go to all that trouble for a salad. I'm going ... Read More
Rating:  - Fantastic!
Coincidently, I happened to make Mushroom Barley soup, pg. 37 and Brownie Pie on page 247 this very morning. The soup is fantastic, filling and very lowfat. The brownie pie is cooling at the moment but judging from the aroma coming from my kitchen....it will be wonderful.
LOVE the cookbook.
Rating: - great cookbook
I love this cookbook, I found a lot of good recipes that even my kids will eat! I makes it a lot easier to loose weight if you can make one meal that eveyone will like instead of two different meals. I also found it usually doesn't call for a lot of hard to find ingredients making it so much easier and cheaper to stay on your diet.
Rating: - Great Cookbook
Bought this books some time ago and haven't used it all that much. Just opened it up again and made the Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake and it is amazing. I passed over it because it is made with ricotta cheese and I just couldn't believe it could turn out that great. Just 99 calories for 1/l2 slice. I topped it with whipped cream.
Also try the Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, they are a favorite recipe. I added some nuts and just a tablespoon of chocolate chips. Just those two recipes ... Read More
Rating: - Great for picky eaters!
I am a very picky eater,so I usually struggle with cookbooks having recipes I like. This book is great - I just started weight watchers and was very pleased to see this cookbook has not only good basic recipes but also easy to make. It ranges from appetizers and snacks to desserts and everything in between. The recipes are created by real people making their own recipes weight watcher friendly. Very good purchase.
