Heart Healthy Cookbook for Two

Low sodium meals for two, with a color photo of every dish and the sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol and potassium printed on every page.

When the doctor says to cut back on salt, the hard part is not finding recipes. It is knowing what is in them. Many heart healthy cookbooks have no photos, no numbers you can check, recipes that say “salt to taste”, and ingredients your store does not carry.

This book was built the other way round. Every recipe was written to stay under a fixed sodium limit for its chapter, with no added salt and no salt substitutes, and the numbers were worked out from USDA food data for the exact amounts in the recipe.
