I was really impressed. I've made about four or five recipes so far and all but one (the mac and cheese) were great. Additionally, the layout is clear and easy to search for recipes. The tabbed sections are great! There's only one thing they could've done to this cookbook to improve it- write how long each recipe takes to make at the top of the recipe, not just written in the instructions. The night I made the mushroom-stuffed turkey breast I ran short on time. I didn't realize it was going to take 1 1/2 hours to bake. Otherwise, this has been my go-to cookbook for healthy recipes. My husband loves it too!

I just picked this cookbook up about a month ago. I've already made at least 15 recipes in it, and they were all wonderful. The pictures are colorful, and the book is very organized and easy to find what you want, and I love the spiral binding.

I'm not even on WW, but I love the healthy recipes. It's great for someone watching their points, or just trying to live healthier.

Some of my favorite recipes are the buttermilk pancakes, sourdough bread, Lasagna, and Slow cooker chicken soup.

I purchased this cookbook to help myself in the quest to drop a few pounds. Though, most recipes are easy to make, they lack in the flavor department. Salt is almost always needed as it's omitted from every recipe. And I have to admit, some herbs here and there could go a long way, it's not like they are adding to the calorie and fat content drastically.

This is not only a fantastic cookbook, it is also full of tips on how to create a great meal! I'll definitely be trying a lot of the recipes in the book! Side note- There are a lot of gluten-free recipes, too!!

So many cool recipes to try for the whole household 😋

This cookbook has a little something for everyone!

I xeroxed a lot of recipes, tips & tricks, etc. Also, all of the recipes here show the nutritional information at the end of each recipe, as well as the SmartPoints value.

Recipes are broken down into sections such as Breakfast & Brunches, Beverages & Appetizers, etc. There are even sections for Grilling and Using a Slow Cooker.

The other thing that made this cookbook great is that it is in a loose-leaf format. I borrowed this from my local public library, so it made it super easy to pull out recipes and copy them.

Excellent!

We've been trying recipes from this for several weeks now and everything we try comes out great. Recipes are simple and many required ingredients already in my kitchen. This cookbook is recommended to anyone interested in cooking easy healthy meals.

[Raelene · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is really a great cookbook. Tons of recipes that are easy to make and call for mostly on-hand or easy-to-get ingredients. Very tasty for being so low in fat and calories.

What I enjoyed most is the emphasis on making lighter-style cooking feel enjoyable rather than restrictive. The recipes offer plenty of ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and special occasions, making the book useful throughout the week.

The variety is one of its strongest features. There are familiar comfort foods alongside fresh ideas, so healthy-minded cooking never has to feel repetitive. I especially appreciated having so many different flavors and meal possibilities gathered in one place. It makes planning meals feel easier and gives you plenty of opportunities to discover new favorites.

The cookbook is also approachable for everyday home cooks. The recipes encourage thoughtful ingredient choices while keeping the focus on delicious food. Whether you are cooking for yourself or preparing meals for the family, the collection provides practical inspiration without requiring elaborate techniques or hard-to-find ingredients.

Another highlight is how useful this book can be as a regular kitchen reference. Instead of being something you read once, it is the sort of cookbook you can return to whenever you need fresh meal ideas or want to change up your routine.

Overall, The Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook is a versatile and encouraging resource for home cooks who appreciate flavorful meals and practical recipe inspiration. It combines variety, convenience, and a sensible approach to everyday cooking in a way that makes the kitchen feel more enjoyable.

Wow. This is a big cookbook with lots of ways to fix stuff I might actually eat. I lost weight with WW in 1990 and it sorta changed the way I eat -- I eat what I want but I may eat a lot of stuff I shouldn't without eating anything I should. Like Ruffles. Lots of Ruffles. Or cheesecake. But nothing else. Anyway, I like the cookbook and wish it was large print and easier to use. I need to download it.

So, if you like to cook but you need to watch your points or our input, this is great.

[Omar Faruk · Rating 5 out of 5]

The PointsPlus values are clearly marked, making tracking effortless. I appreciate that the recipes use whole foods and minimize processed ingredients, aligning perfectly with modern wellness goals. The photography is appetizing, proving that healthy food can look indulgent. It’s a reliable, long-term companion for anyone committed to sustainable weight management and nutrition.

[Tiffany Manning · Rating 5 out of 5]

The variety of recipes within is excellent from elaborate to simple. Some of my favorites are the Pumpkin Apple Bread, Dijon Herb Marinade, and the Lasagna w/Meat Sauce.
Some recipes that I didn't like were the guacamole, chicken fajitas, and the spicy beef and broccoli.

[Renee Brandstetter · Rating 1 out of 5]

I bought this cook book and going through the recipes I already don’t like it never in a million years will I cook anything with salmon seafood or poached asparagus and eggs bleck. I want a simpler cook book that everyone in my family will like.

[Kaitlyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really wish every recipe had a picture of it at the bottom of the recipe because that would be very helpful when skimming through.

I found a few recipes that I look forward to making. I also like that it is in binder form so that recipes can be taken out.

[Miss Cecile · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tiny portion sizes

They give a portion sizes of one burger and thats the only way they keep the calories low, by telling you to eat a tiny amount of it. Recipes are pretty boring and unimaginative and had to be spruce up.

[Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

It covers a lot of categories and offers many worthwhile recipes and tips.

[Debra · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was ok and had a few recipes I want to try, but I wouldn't spend money on it.
