The Cardiac Recovery Cookbook: Heart-Healthy Recipes For Life After Heart Attack Or Heart Surgery by registered dietician and licensed nutritionist M. Laurel Cutlip and nutrition consultant Sari Budgazad offers a 216-page compendium of easy to make, good tasting and good for you recipes that are characterized by reduced saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Each recipe is provided with detailed nutritional information and range from Breakfast Quesadilla; Flax French Toast; Mexican Pozle; and Baked Pork Chops; to Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken; Baked Trout; New Orleans Red Beans; and Summer Breeze Smoothies. There is something here for any and all dining occasions from appetizers and soups, to entrees and side dishes, to mouth-watering palate-pleasing desserts. While The Cardiac Recovery Cookbook is especially recommended for anyone recuperating from cardiac problems, these 100 quick and easy recipes will be equally appreciated by their families and friends wanting to join in the recovering cardiac patient at meal times.

This book was so out of cardiac integrity in the recipe contents that I couldn't even pass the book on. I tore out recipes that I could modify to come more in line with American Heart Association's recommended Mediterranian diet guidelines. Cardiac recovery is truly a matter of life and death to those of us given second chances. This means those who give advice in any way about it need to be as authentic as possible. Those who write recipes need to be responsible in considering the whole picture of cardiac: low carbs, low fat, low sodium and little beef. I recommend Joe Piscatella's book "The Road To A Healthy Heart Runs Through The Kitchen". Great information and tasty and healthy recipes.

I bought this book as a gift for my parents-- my father recently having had a valve replacement unexpectedly. They have found the cookbook useful, easy, and worthwhile. They certainly don't fit in the "leisure time chef" category but found the cookbook useful and enjoyable.

Eating food that's good for you can be quite frustrating if you haven't learned to be and cook healthy your entire life. This helped.

my husband recently under went a cardiac procedure to repair an arterial fibrilation and I am using ideas from this book.Easy to use . no problems with seller or shipping . Recommend .

Well written by a professional. Excellent recipes and have had great results in keeping healthy with them.

You will love the great taste and cannot believe how low in fat butt high in taste and looks the meals turn out.

I bought this cookbook for a friend that had just had a heart bypass. He and his wife found the information and recipes very helpful with his recovery.

I was disappointed. I would've been much happier if there was less preaching and more heart healthy recipes. This could've been better

Was not all that great. Did not give many recipes and that is what i had wanted. My husban had a heart attack and I was looking for recipes, that were low fat and low sodium.
