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.

 I bought it! July 15, 2008
I borrowed this book from my local library, but I tagged so many recipes, and so many recipes that I tried turned out well, that I bought the book (and this coming from someone who doesn't buy cookbooks). If you're not completely sure about buying, why not borrow from your library first? You won't be disappointed, and you'll be looking to purchase your own copy very soon! Fantastic way to explore new recipes to keep you on program for life!

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 to try getting a different Weight Watchers cookbook and hope I have better luck with the next one.
Fantastic! January 2, 2008
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.
great cookbook November 29, 2007
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.

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 are well worth the price of the book.
Chicken Marsala and Clam Linguini are favorite recipes as well.
