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.

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]
