cookbook

Received quickly. It was a gift to a friend and I don't know if she's used it yet.

Help for low sodium dieters

I purchased this book for my elderly mother who needed to reduce her sodium intake due to severe hypertension. She needed to find easy recipes and tips for sodium reduction and this cookbook helped her reduce her sodium intake and her blood pressure is now in a normal range.

Low salt living

This book has many excellent suggestions and recipes for those on a restricted salt diet. Every item in your cupboard is pretty much loaded with salt. Almost every item you pick up in the grocery store is loaded with salt. Forget processed food! Check out 'sodium content' in those burgers/fries, etc. You will be shocked. Great little cook book I've used over and over - and I have many more dishes to try. Americans have to wake up to the tremendous amounts of salt they are consuming. This book spells out some of the dangers and your health is at stake. All of us should be consuming about 2000 grams a day. When you go out for lunch or dinner you automatically go over that limit. Check this all out for yourself and ask your doctor about the dangers of excessive salt in your diet. You can lower your blood pressure and help your hearts health just by following the tips in this book.

Tasty!

I just tried my first recipe from this book tonight. We had pork chops w/ basalmic glazed apples & onions. We didn't miss the salt in the least. I was so impressed - the flavor was fabulous (and I'm not big on fruit in my entrees). The ingredients were basic - no special trips to the store. Quick to make & quick to clean up. I really appreicate these qualities!
