Exclusive Recipe Excerpts from Weight Watchers In 20 Minutes
This cookbook really does have fast and delicious recipes!January 27, 2009 Margie D.(California) 28 out of 28 found this review helpful
I have several weight watchers cookbooks and I'd have to say that this one is the best so far. The recipes are indeed quick and do produce yummy results. Everything has tasted great. I don't like spending a lot of time or effort in making daily meals. However, I know as a life time member of weight watchers (and as a person interested in eating healthy food) how it's important to eat good meals at home. Plus in this economy, you can save much money by making it yourself instead of doing takeout.
The one thing that I don't do is quick cooking rice because it tastes wierd to me. I remedy that problem by starting the rice first thing in my wonderful rice cooker. It's just as easy that way.
This cookbook has already paid for itself several times over in just the month or so that I have had it. It has my highest recommendation.
Tasty Recipes-reallyJanuary 17, 2009 Michele Fitzgerald(Scranton, PA USA) 24 out of 25 found this review helpful
The recipes in this book really take 20 minutes or less and are really delicious. These recipes are family friendly. With our hectic schedule this book makes it easy to plan a week's worth of meals. The family favorite is the "Sausage, Mushroom, and Tomato Stew." With my life I need "fast" and Weight watchers came through with a great cookbook.
Tasty, Easy, Quck and HealthyApril 7, 2009 Kenneth R. Mitschke(Schertz, TX USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The first recipe I tried, Chicken Breast in Mushroom Port Sauce, was a home run. It was tasty, easy, quick and healthy! Salmon Cakes with Red Pepper Mayonnaise was a hit too. I haven't found a recipe that was below average and can't wait to serve the Chicken Breast in Mushroom Port Sauce to dinner guests. Unlike other so called "20 minute" recipes, these can actually be done by a non-professional cook in, yes, 20 minutes. The ingredients for each recipe are readily found at your local grocery store. There are a few pictures which realistically depict the results. They don't appear to be overly touched up or enhanced. Servings, calories, fat, sat fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, protein, and Weight Watchers' points are included with each recipe. The book is conveniently spiral bound within a hard cover. Even if you're not in Weight Watchers, I give this cookbook my highest recommendation!
Highly recommended! This cookbook gives hope.November 9, 2009 Lionwoman(CT USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this cookbook to try to make my dieting a little more enticing while still not having to spend all my free time in the kitchen preparing dishes that may taste good, but required too much prep time. Little did I realize at the time of purchasing this book that it would indeed live up to it's promises.
I have been using the cookbook for almost every meal for the past 2 weeks and I absolutely love it. Most of the dishes I have tried, I would rate at least 4 stars out of 5. (5 would be the full calorie / full fat version, which would defeat the purpose of a method of eating better.)
All of the dishes are very quick. Most live up to the promise of 20 minutes, but a few may take 30 minutes if you take your time a bit and don't work at break-neck speed.
My husband has been the recipient of many of the meals and he too, has loved everything he has eaten.
I highly recommend this book for people who want to have flavor, feel satisfied after every meal, and want simple delicious recipes that can be prepared in 20-30 minutes.
This book has given me hope that I can finally get control of my food consumption and really still enjoy every meal while finally making the scales go down.
