Product Description

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:

• Spicy Potato Skins
• Lemon Glazed Doughnuts
• Three-Bean Salad
• Stuffing
• Apple Pie
• Velvet Crumb Cake
• Barbecue Sauce

About the Author

He currently has a website, www.lowsodiumcooking.com, and his weekly online newsletter, complete with the latest recipes and tips, is read by more than 11,000 people. He lives in Maryland.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Low salt does not mean low taste, November 8, 2007 By  K. Broderick "bug buster" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This is a great cookbook. I am an avid cook. My husband's low salt diet seemed like it would be a low taste one - but amazingly using Dick L's recipes has meant we have good food. I haven't even gotten the salt shaker out to flavor up my portions. There are plenty of comfort foods that taste great. The low salt bread machine recipes came out really well - which was a surprise to me since I had always thought salt was a necessity for proper bread. Every recipe I've prepared so far has been excellent. He has included little tricks and ingredients that make you not miss the salt. If you are newly diagnosed with any kind of illness that necessitates a low salt diet - you need this cookbook. He includes complete nutrition information for every recipe (including sodium and potassium). 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection, but many errors, July 7, 2008 By  Scott Alter (Fort Wayne, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    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. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Saves lives, tastes good., December 10, 2007 By  Low-salt housewife (California) - See all my reviews We love the book because it has lots of recipes, most of them very tasty.
