[.ca] New Dieter's Cookbook (ISBN 0696231824)

THis is the best diet cookbook I own!:
I have to start out by saying that I am a self proclaimed cookbookaholic! I have so many it is hard to count them all. I was on the look out for a diet (low fat/calorie) cookbook that would fit in well with my Weight watchers program. I asked on the weight watcher's site for suggestions or favorite cookbooks on the message boards....this book was one of the suggestions, and I decided to go ahead and try it. I am a VERY picky eater...always have been. I got the book and started to mark off with post it notes the pages that I wanted to try....well about half way through I ran out of sticky notes!! This cookbook is so full of GOOD recipes that don't look or taste DIET...I am so impressed and pleased! I recently listed 18 of my low fat cookbooks on ebay, because I feel like I have the all encompasing bible now!! I don't need those others that gave me hit or miss recipes with little flavor or were filled with ingredients that Canadian cooks can't find here... This book is SUPERB! Take it from someone who has read most of them...this one is the best! Here are some of my favorites: scalloped potatoes and ham buttermilk pancakes skinny mashed potatoes german style chicken (crusty) tex mex chicken tacos fusion chicken (asian inspired glaze) smokey sweet pork pineapple pork roast spicy sweet chili tenderloin with apple butter and the list goes on and on!!! The book is HUGE!! you will LOVE it! I have no doubts, the recipes don't taste diet at all, you will feel like you are normal again... :)

It is a cookbook for living and eating well:
My husband started to use this cookbook this winter because he had time to read and cook. We love it! The recipe's are easy, delicious and we feel like we are cooking well and taking care of our bodies. My sister, the food critic, is here and she is actually going to buy a copy and she never likes my cooking:) We have the first edition.

I've tried several others...this one is the best:
FINALLY, a cookbook that meets all my requirements: Minimal ingredients - Tasty - Easy to prepare - Low in Cal/Fat - Color Photographs. I joined the online weight watchers program (no meetings required - weightwatchers.com) 6 weeks ago to loose some post-pregnancy baby weight. Over the first few weeks I purchased 6 different low cal, low fat, healthy, etc. type cookbooks. The recipes resulted in meals that were "just okay" to down right bad and required lots of uncommon ingredients and time to prepare. Standing in the check out line at the grocery store, I noticed one of those little cookbooks "best ever low-cal recipes" from BH & G. I figured...why not...it was cheaper to try one of these than purchasing another large cookbook. I tried the "chicken tacos" and the "crunchy fish with potatoes" and my husband (who is the hardest man I know to please when it comes to the taste of food) had no idea that we were eating healthy. I wouldn't have known either if no one told me. This prompted me to purchase the complete version of this cookbook and to date, every meal I've tried has been really very good. Each recipe has a full color photograph (with the calories highlighted right below) and most of the ingredients are things that I have in my pantry already and the degree of difficulty has been minimal. This cookbook has a WIDE variety of offerings including "calorie trimmed classics" such as buttermilk biscuts, cinnamon rolls with orange glaze, flan, pork chops with cornbread stuffing, and beef stroganoff. The following are recipes that I've tried so far and the calculated points for those of you following weight watchers: Oriental Beef & Broccoli with rice- 6 pts Baked Chimichangas - 5 pts BBQ Beef Sandwiches - 7 pts Chicken Tacos - 6 pts Cruchy Topped Fish with Oven Fries - 7 pts I have flagged about 15 other recipes that I am going to try over the next few weeks. To date I have lost 10 lbs. (with 10 more to go) and feel that this cookbook is going to help me achieve me goals and still keep my family satisfied too.

Great Recipies and Easy Preparation:
I love this cookbook. The recipies are easy and delicious. Not the same old thing you always have to eat. Also the book is like a binder with rings,so it lays flat. Each recipie has its own page with a picture. Complete portion control, calorie, carbs, etc. for every recipie. Definitely worth it.

Great Dieters Cookbook!:
This dieters cookbook is great! There is a picture on every page and the recipes are easy to follow. There are many traditional recipes, just made lighter as well as a mix of the not so traditional. The garlic spinach dip recipe is the best.
