Eating right is even easier with Weight Watchers One Pot Cookbook. It’s filled with good-for-you one-pot meals. Each recipe includes complete nutritional information and PointsPlus values for those following the Weight Watchers program.
Nancy Gagliardi, of Weight Watchers, joined me to talk about the various types of pot or cooking appliances featured in the book. ”One Pot” includes a casserole dish, skillet, wok, saucepan and, of course, slow cooker. The ”In Something Different” chapter highlights specialty equipment such as the panini press, waffle maker, and pressure cooker-classic (and new classic) kitchen tools that can make cooking faster, easier or just more fun. Each chapter begins with a primer on the equipment, pot or pan that is featured and then launches into good-for-you recipes to make for family and friends.
