This is a wonderful cookbook! It is great for students and people on the go. I tried the Deep Dish Pizza Casserole and it tasted great! I can actually eat it as leftovers until it's gone. Who wants to spend hours in the kitchen unless it is a special occasion? I appreciate that I don't have to spend a lot on groceries and I can still make a homecooked meal. I also like that the recipes are things I would want to eat. Most importantly though the recipes are healthy and low calorie!!
A Godsend for the short-of-time, calorie-conscious cook

5 ingredients? 15 minutes? I can do that. Need to watch points or calories? Weight Watchers is great for that. Recipes here I like: 1. Fettucini and shrimp, 2. Athens-style grouper 3. Summer squash over polenta 4. Taco chicken wraps One of the best of Weight Watchers. shopping list in front, points and exchanges on recipe. A winner.
This book has changed my life!!!!

I rarely recommend cookbooks, but I have been telling everyone I know about this one. The meals are so easy to prepare and most are with pantry staples. The taste of the recipes consistently far exceeds that of any other "light cooking" I've tried. I am also a big fan of Cooking Light, but since having children, I find Cooking Light recipes usually too time consuming and using too many unusual ingredients. My only concern...the sodium levels tend to run a bit high and if hypertension is an issue for you, I would review book carefully. Generally, most will not regret this book if you are looking for low fat/calorie, great tasting, quick prep dishes.
My Favorite Cookbook ever!

This is by far, one of the best cookbooks I own. The recipes are not only fast and easy, but delicious! I was origionally attracted to the book because of the 5 ingredient, 15 minute concept, but in the end, what matters most is whether or not the family would actually like the food. THEY DID! Along with each recipe, are other suggestions to of food to complete the meal. Very helpful for meal planning! I love this cookbook.

This is just a keeper. It not only has great easy recipes that will make you eat like a king/queen the Weight Watchers way (light), it also has great pictures of the very fast 5 Ingredient / 15 Minute preparation dishes.
