American Heart Association Low-Salt Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Reducing Sodium and Fat in Your Diet

Customer Reviews

Great Tasting Low Salt Recipes

Over-salted food is everywhere and one reason people get too much salt in their food is that many "cooks" think seasoning is salting.

This book has a wide variety of great tasting, healthy recipes. Anyone interested in becoming a good cook can use it to learn how to really season foods.

The book is a boon to those who know they need to lower their salt and a good idea for those who don't know it yet.

Good but not great

I was looking for a cookbook with relatively light, relatively low-fat recipes. This book delivered what I was looking for, but nothing more. Some of the recipes are good, but some tend to be a little bland and somewhat involved to prepare.

These recipes are NOT low-sodium!

I can't believe the American Heart Association produces this book. As a recently diagnosed heart patient, sodium is a primary concern of mine. This book's title is terribly misleading--just because you don't add salt, doesn't mean there's not sodium in other ingredients. The recipes in this book are not any better than most of the recipes in our Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Just because the title says no salt, doesn't mean that these recipes will reduce your sodium intake. Browse and compare the recipes to those of other cookbooks with nutritional information. The AHA should be ashamed of itself. I recommend Gazzaniga's No-Salt, Lowest Sodium cookbook.
