Customer Reviews

Bad format
Format makes it difficult to find what you're looking for. Arranged according to region, you can get lost and forget what you were looking for. Simply the Best, another cookbook by Weight Watchers (now available in paperback!) is a much better buy, with everything arranged in an easy format, such as appetizers, soups, chicken, pasta etc... This book also leans very much toward seafood, so if you aren't a seafood lover, you might not find too many realistic dishes you like.
