Weight Watchers New 365 Day Menu Cookbook
quality photos, good variety, great recipes. My daughter loved the Brown Rice and Vegetable Pilaf. She made it and ate it hot and took it to school twice in a row and ate it…

I just recieved this the other day and have yet to make any recipes from this cookbook. But I have now tried several of the WW cookbooks and they always have great recipes, so there is no doubt that I will find some more healthy ones in this book.
I love how each page has a main recipe on it and then they have built a whole day of eating around that one recipe. Sometimes, there are smaller typed recipes in the daily menu area on each page. For example, on one page, the main recipe is for Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. Then to the right of the recipe, they have built a whole day of meals around this recipe. They have suggested what to eat for breakfast (banana and cereal), a light meal (beans and franks, carrot/celery sticks, whole wheat roll, yogurt), the main meal (which includes the Chicken caesar salad, creamy brocolli soup–provides the recipe, a peach and Italian bread) and an evening snack (3 cups of plain popcorn).
This is perfect for someone who needs to follow a strict menu to stay on track. Not everyone has the self discipline to make their own healthy menus and stay within the WW guidelines, so this would work well for those people. And each recipe/daily menu is different so you don’t have to worry about being bored and eating the same things over and over.
The only real complaints I have about this book is that it is outdated compared to the newer WW cookbooks. It doesn’t have any of the point values in the book, so you need to use the WW calculator to figure the point values out for each recipe. And the other complaint that I have is the book does have a few pictures in it, but most of the pictures are very unappetizing. They look like they just threw the recipe together and didn’t worry about presentation. The more recent WW cookbooks make the pictures look very yummy, unlike this one.
Also, we all know that not everyone can eat the same amount of calories and continue to lose weight, so its unclear as to who this cookbook is geared towards. Someone who needs to be eating 1600 calories and actively losing weight still or someone who is maintaining their goal weight and need to eat around 1200 calories per day.
This cookbook looks like its worth a try, even just for the recipes and not the daily menus. But it’t not as nice as the newer cookbooks that WW has put out in the last few years.

Useful Menu/Cookbook
This was useful to me in that it offered me simple ideas for Breakfast, Meal, snack etc. along with recipes.

Great WW Recipes
If you’re a fan of WW, you should love this book. It was written before any of the POINTS systems, so you have to do some calculations on your own.

Not the book for my family
Way too many of the recipes in this book have ingredients I have never heard of! Also, the ingredient lists are often very long.

Doesn’t Taste Like Diet Food!!!
This cookbook is the best I’ve ever tried! I had a pretty good selection of cookbooks before buying this one so I didn’t really think a ‘healthy cookbook’ would be able to…
