The New American Diet Cookbook

This is a great cookbook providing a tasteful variety of recipes to please any palate.

I have been using this cookbook nearly weekly for over 5 years now. The binding is broken, it's stained everywhere, but I keep using it. As a vegetarian, I find that there are plenty of vegetarian recipes (or recipes easily adapted to be vegetarian). There are no red meat recipes. Each recipe has a table of nutritional information - which contains the necessary info to calculate Weight Watchers' point values, among other things. That, alone, is extremely helpful. I find the recipes to be very flavorful, easy to make, and not at all diet-tasting. Some of my (and my husband's) favorite recipes include polenta with late summer garden vegetables, roasted vegetable lasagna, pumpkin curry soup, and fresh pear bread. I cannot recommend this cookbook highly enough!
