Should be on everyone's shelf - salt sensitive or not!

Recipes are easy to find in this book, and it's not just 30 variations on a similar recipe, or obscure dishes that you can't really tell what it is until you make it.Once you start eating without adding salt (or salty products) you begin to dislike overly salty food. Our bodies ultimately know how much salt they need. Who doesn't know that too much salt is bad?On this book. It's pretty good. But you can't eat from it every day. I also recommend Gazzaniga's "No Salt Lowest Sodium Cookbook" to compliment this one. As long as you're here, why not order them both? (uncompensated endorsement)

Fantastic Book!

I was put on a very low salt/sodium diet a year ago because of Meniere's Syndrome. Since that time, I've tried several cookbooks and I usually found only two or three pretty good recipes in each one. This book is different. So far I've tried twenty-six recipes and they have all ranged from good to excellent. The best thing about this cookbook is that, once you buy the different spices, almost every other ingredient can be found in your kitchen cupboard. The ingredients you need to buy can be found at any grocery store. The recipes are also easy to follow and several are quick to fix. It's a must-have for those on low-sodium diets. I highly recommend it!

A great no-salt manual

When I was told that I needed to cut back on sodium, I didn't know where to begin. I felt at a loss. I felt as if there would be no way for me to enjoy food with all the restrictions set, but then I found this book.This book provides a great deal of useful information. It informed me about high sodium foods that I never would have figured to be high in sodium. It also has delicious recipes that helped me restructure my diet.I've been using this book for 6 months now as a menu guide and a health resource, and I'm happy to have it as a tool in my kitchen.

Delicious food

Just got this book a week ago and have made three recipes, all were delicious. My family did not have to add salt, because the recipes had flavor thru spices. For someone who needs low salt this is a great book.

a must have for the new low salt dieter

This book is great because it has a wonderful variety of low sodium dishes that are easy to prepare and taste great. After I was recently diagnosed with Meneire's disease I had no where to turn to for low sodium dishes. This book has given me the courage to explore this new lifestyle - and enjoy it!
