500 Low Sodium Recipes: Lose the salt, not the flavor in meals the whole family will love
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).

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.

I have been on a low sodium diet for 5 years now and this is the first book I have come across that has reciepes my husband actually enjoys! I even had friends ask me for copies of reciepes from this book because they were so tasty. Years ago there were only two books that I could find that were strictly low sodium and I was getting major low sodium burn-out rut! This really helped me get my eating back on track and actually look forward to cooking again. The only thing is a lot of these recipes are high in the sugar. That’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I adjust a lot of these when I see too much in them. Other wise I would get this for anyone who needs to lower their sodium.

We love the book because it has lots of recipes, most of them very tasty. My husband and his cardiologist are very pleased because lower salt means fewer drugs and lower doses.

After my husband was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure suddenly I had to learn to cook without using salt. I never was a big salt fan, but I was lost. This book was a lifesaver! It has a multitude of great recipes and they are easy to follow and don’t require a lot of time. I’ve made several of them so far and they are all great! This is a great addition to my cookbook library!
