yummy and low-fat,too!!!

This book has easy to follow instructions, and lots of helpful hints for the preparation of the dishes. It was also easy to figure out the "points" of each dish, since the nutrition facts were printed out. This recipe book has a great variety of catagories and I recommend it to all, even those of you who don't really like to cook, like me!

Fun and informative!

I've been on Weight Watchers for a few months now and I find the Hungry Girl book is invaluable for finding recipes that are WW friendly. I don't have to eat like "on a diet". She has recipes for every day fun foods that are low fat, low cal - like her Chicken Tenders or Onion Rings, salads, baked goods, soups. Every recipe is so easy and yummy! This isn't gourmet eating. It's what we really eat every day. Although this isn't really a Weight Watchers book, the author is a regular contributor to their web site and the points values for all the recipes in the book can be found on the Hungry Girl web site. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is trying to cut calories and fat and I hope another book will follow soon! And don't miss all the tips for travelling by plane or car, tips for eating in restaurants, snack tips, etc. Great book!

Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World

It's a sassy book, with good everyday tips. It gives a good alternative to certain products you might generally use in your cuisine. Dramatizes a bit the calories cotained in every day foods.

Quick, Easy, Tasty Recipes

If you are looking for a variety of reciepes that are quick, easy to find ingredients for, and a cinch to prepare, this is the book for you. These recipes are great for single servings (most are presented this way and can easily be adjusted for the amount you need). Also very handy for ideas for those following the Weight Watchers Points Plans. Her writing style is entertaining to read, and her website is awesome! Check it out! You won't go wrong with the purchase of this book-or with the foods that Hungry Girl endorses on her site. Happy Chewing!!
