Every recipe you need if you want to cut out salt!

Sixty-five million Americans have high blood pressure and 5 million suffer from congestive heart failure. When their doctors advise them to watch their weight and lower their sodium intake, they imagine a lifetime of repeatedly bland and unappetizing meals. Their anxieties about their health are compounded by the notion that eating will no longer be fun and enjoyable. This book will assure them otherwise. Packed with 500 recipes (both classic and daring), 500 No-Salt, Low-Sodium Recipes beats back the boredom and allows people with high blood pressure, heart, kidney, or liver disease to maintain a diverse and exciting low-sodium diet.

500 No-Salt, Low-Sodium Recipes features simple recipes with nutritional breakdowns and useful tips for a low-sodium lifestyle, including what food items to avoid for their hidden sodium content, plus information about convenient and tasty low-sodium substitutes and where to find them.

Recipes include:

Summary: Great collection, but many errors
Comment: I own a few low-sodium cookbooks, and this is the one I use most often. It is full of recipes that are easy to make, and that are actually useful. One of my favorites is Sesame Chicken. I make that about once a week. It also has a small collection of low-sodium bread machine recipes that I use often. My only criticism is that there seem to be a lot of mistakes in the recipes. For example, one bread machine recipe calls for two tablespoons of yeast, which is far too much. I'm sure it is supposed to say two teaspoons. Also, in some instances, the author's website (www.lowsodiumcooking.com) will include a recipe that is in the book, but the amounts of the ingredients differ, often confusing teaspoons and tablespoons. There have been two instances when I've emailed the author to verify the ingredients in a recipe. On one occasion, he replied to tell me there was an error. The other time he did not reply. All in all, I'd say this is a must-have cookbook in the low salt category. Just watch for any ingredients that seem suspicious.

Summary: Tasty Low Sodium
Comment: I have been on a low sodium diet for 5 years now and this is the first book I have come across that has reciepes my husband actually enjoys! I even had friends ask me for copies of reciepes from this book because they were so tasty. Years ago there were only two books that I could find that were strictly low sodium and I was getting major low sodium burn-out rut! This really helped me get my eating back on track and actually look forward to cooking again. The only thing is a lot of these recipes are high in the sugar. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I adjust a lot of these when I see too much in them. Other wise I would get this for anyone who needs to lower their sodium.

Summary: Not all recipes are healthy
Comment: Although there are lots of low sodium recipes, I don't think they are all healthy. There are many recipes that seem to be high in fat. Also the recipes are not as easy to make as the American Heart Association book.

Summary: Lots of Great Recipes
Comment: Great recipes but no colored pages and no pictures. I need the color pictures so I know if I made it right.

Summary: A Life Saver
Comment: After my husband was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure suddenly I had to learn to cook without using salt. I never was a big salt fan, but I was lost. This book was a lifesaver! It has a multitude of great recipes and they are easy to follow and don't require a lot of time. I've made several of them so far and they are all great! This is a great addition to my cookbook library!
