I like this cookbook because it modifies recipes that would normally contain a lot of salt. I know that sounds like a no brainier but several of the low-salt books have recipes that would naturally be low in salt. I find this very annoying.

Very simplistic won't help a real cook.

Great to find low salt recipes to tempt my father and to help cut my sodium levels as well.

Good book for all, beginners and other

Great for knowledge and helps to plan meals AND shopping ! I did not know about the breads or condiments.

The best book I have for recipes safe for someone with CHF. My father in law also has diabetes and it makes his diet complicated. This recipe book has it all, including nutrition facts.

A wonderful cookbook for anyone who must switch to a low-sodium diet. (There is a recipe for a yummy eggplant and polenta casserole that rivals anything I’ve eaten in an Italian restaurant!)

I was looking for low sugar recipes, and there weren't as many as I would have liked.

Another book I got while working as a pharmacist at Evans Pharmacy in Odessa, Texas. I still haven't tried the recipes, but the book seems great!

Quite surprised by how many good sounding recipes there are in this cookbook! Can't wait to try them out!

[Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

at least there are beef recipes in this book!
They could have left out the fish & poultry chapters.
I'd need a blender for a few of them.

Great for not just the recipes that taste good without adding a lot of sodium, but general concepts and even what cooking techniques are healthier.

[Leah Krieger · Rating 5 out of 5]
