The recipes are easy to follow. The food turns out wonderful and still with lots of flavor. Try the breakfast sausage recipe. I was so sorry to have to give up sausage but this is a great alternative!

Every recipe I've tried is a winner. Shrimp with Pesto is not only delicious but easily adapted and you have a wider variety of meals. Try Tuscan Bread with Tomato Soup or Sheppards Pie for delicious comfort food. Baked Chicken with Apple Cider and Apples is a wonderful fall must have and impress your guests. Good selection of desserts like brownies or poached peaches. If you are "new" to no salt cooking these are not familiar recipies minus the salt and no flavor. They are a tasteful collection of familiar menu items like Mushroom and Onion Quiche, Osso Buco and Pizza with enough flavor that you will not miss the salt, and no one else will either.

So many great recipes for everyday items. Lots of bread recipes, and sauces, it helps so much.
