Want to make meals a snap? Then you’ll love WEIGHT WATCHERS ONE POT COOKBOOK, which features more than 300 delectable dishes that can be made in a single pot, from a basic saucepan or casserole dish to a specialized utensil such as a pressure cooker or a panini press.

Unleash your kitchen prowess and make cooking easy by using the equipment you already own. Each chapter is organized around a specific piece of equipment and includes recipes that use it to the max. Turn to Chapter 1 to read our advice on using a bowl to create salads and sandwiches, such as Tropical Papaya Shrimp Salad and Maine-Style Crab Rolls. Chapter 2 features the skillet and presents a variety of meal ideas, from Heavenly Hots to Smoky Chicken-Seafood Salad, while Chapter 3 showcases the wok and contains dishes like Bibimbap and Szechuan Orange-Ginger Beef.

The remaining chapters focus on the saucepan, the Dutch oven, the roasting pan, the casserole dish, the slow cooker, the grill, the baking pan, and special equipment—waffle makers, panini presses, pressure cookers, and fondue pots. Most of these kitchen workhorses are probably already in your kitchen. Rediscover them and unlock their potential for helping you get dinner (or breakfast or lunch) on the table fast!

Pull out your Dutch oven to make Moroccan Lamb Stew with Prunes and Cinnamon, or get the roasting pan prepped for Butterflied Quail with Fresh Raspberry Sauce. Looking for more slow-cooker recipes? (Who isn’t!) Try Summer Vegetable Risotto or Spicy Fisherman’s Stew. You can also dust off those specialty items you haven’t used in a while: make Pumpkin Belgian Waffles in the waffle maker and try Lemony Arctic Char with Arugula-Cucumber Salad or Strawberry Jam, Mozzarella, and Thyme Paninis in your panini press.

And don’t forget dessert. (We didn’t!) Use your baking pan for Fresh Blueberry-Vanilla Cake or Amaretto Fudge Brownies; bring out the bowls for Red Zinger Granita or Warm Cherries with Goat Cheese and Thyme.

With 100 full-color photos, complete nutrition information, PointsPlus® values, and tips for healthy eating, this is the book that makes meals delicious, easy, and good for you.
