Review: Weight Watchers Dining with the Duchess

Weight Watchers Dining With the Duchess - Making Everyday Meals A Special Occasion by Sarah, The Duchess of York and Weight Watchers 1998

I first checked this one out from the library and later found a used copy, which I bought. I have tried several of the recipes. The Honey Dipped Crunchy Chicken Nuggets were very good and I have included the recipe but we didn't care for the Not So Devilish Eggs - I think they contained a little too much curry for our tastes.

Dining with the Duchess, combines the Duchess's taste and style with the culinary and dietary expertise of Weight Watchers. There are thirty menus included with around 125 recipes. The recipes are easy to prepare. The recipes are for the 1 2 3 Weight Watchers Plan. Also included for each recipe are POINTS per serving. Recipes include the basic nutrional breakdown as well as helpful cooking and presentation tips and hints. This cookbook is perfect for who wants to prepare light, healthy, and delicious meals. There are personal stories from the Dutchess included before each menu, letting you get a glimpseinto her life.
