Fantastico!!!! by Karen Puccio
This is an amazing compilation of italian favorites - authentic tastes and flavors. I have enjoyed every thing I have made especially the focaccia bread with rosemary. Anyone on the WW Flex plan should include this in their cookbook library. Its awesome!
Lose weight and still get to eat great Italian food!!! by rysprincess94
WOW!! This is my new fave cookbook. I just started WW Online less than a week ago and have cooked out of this book everyday and love, love, love being able to enjoy great Italian food and still lose weight! I’ve lost 9 lbs. in the last 5 days and have had some type of Italian dish EVERYDAY!! I made yummy Spinach Stuffed Shells for a dinner party yesterday and everyone was raving about them and did not have a clue they were from WW until I whooped out the cookbook. Plan on using this book on a VERY regular basis!!
exciting recipes! by Joanne Marie Mayer
This is a wonderful authentic italian cookbook! The best is that WW wrote it and I can enjoy healthy eating.
Great for Italian food by Richard P. Dimarzio
I’ve not used this book as much as I have some of the other Weight Watchers cook books but this one is just as good. If your love to cook Italian food, and want to stay within your points, this one will have you covered. Things covered in this book are Pizza and pasta based dishes along with several not so Americanized Italian dishes. You’ll get recipes for making home made pasta as well as several types of breads that won’t blow your diet.
