This review is from: Cardiac Cuisine: A Guide to Healthy Eating (Spiral-bound)

This is a great little book. It contains both narrative and recipes, based on the fundamentals of better nutrition. While it was written to help folks with heart disease and those trying to avoid it, it is also helpful to anyone looking to develop a more healthy diet. Some of my favorite recipes come from this book - you have got to try the sherbet pie! The other nice thing is this is spiral-bound, so it is easy to use in the kitchen.
