Very few recipes

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2022

Careless shipping left my book folded over and creased. When l say careless shipping I mean it. The shopper could have CARED LESS!!! Nothing covered the book at all. It was just tossed down into a great big sack with another heavier item so when it bounced around in the truck it was ruined. As for the book itself, it had very few recipes. Maybe one small recipe a page here and there. Mostly diet plans and talk. I regret l didn't return it.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Wow! I bought 3 low sodium cookbooks on Amazon and Lower's is by far the best.The first thing i noticed was that every recipe is coded for Low, Lower or Lowest in sodium. There's also a per serving amount at the bottom of each, making it easy to maintain the 1,500 mg. per day limit for someone like my husband with CHF (congestive heart failure). Lower also gives 2 meal plans, one for hypertensive folks and one for those with CHF. The beginning chapters are important as they warn against potassium chloride, explain blood pressure, risk factors, tests and symtoms of heart disease, updating your pantry and kitchen equipment (nothing fancy!) While meat menus are included (we do not eat meat), I'm pleased there are 31 main dish vegetarian and 20 seafood entrees and 4 vegetarian soups. All the breakfasts (except one), the sauces & spice mixes, and the snacks/sides are vegetarian. The desserts are not sugary sweet and rely quite a bit on fruit. So far I've made the Chickpea Burgers with Tahini ,the Black Bean Croquettes with Fresh Salsa, and the Cauliflower Fried Rice. They are very good. While I'm not going to lie and say I don't miss the salt, these recipes come as close as possible to being as tasty as one could imagine. It will take a while to adjust to this new heart-healthy diet. To help add additional flavor, I recommend Dak's Sodium-free spices, The Gourmet Collection (Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Chili & Chives, Garlic Bread Spice Blend) Paul Prudhomme's Magic salt-free blends, Mrs. Dash's Southwest Chipotle and Taco Seasoning blends and Mrs. Dash's teriyaki marinade, Mr. Spice sauces: Sweet & Sour sauce and Honey BBQ and Westbrae organic stoneground no salt mustard. Francesco Rinaldi no-salt pasta sauce, and TorchBearer Tarnation hot sauce. All of these can be found on Amazon, but you may be able to purchase them locally.

A wonderful, must-have cookbook if you are living a lower sodium lifestyle

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2018

This is a great low sodium recipe book. After finding out from my doctor that I needed to start living a lower sodium lifestyle due to my health, I searched the internet from end to end trying to find the best low sodium advice. As anyone on a lower sodium lifestyle can attest, finding the right recipe can make all the difference between a horribly bland meal, and a great tasting meal. One of the best websites I came across was Christopher's Hacking Salt website. He had a gift in not only coming up with great recipes, but also making the reader feel normal and accepted in having to be extremely picky in their food choices. I printed recipe after recipe from the website until I saw that he also had this cookbook. I learned of his passing not too long after I purchased the book, and I have referred many friends and family to his website and his book as they have both been invaluable to me in gaining more knowledge of cooking and eating lower sodium foods. I have made a number of the recipes in the book, and although I may swap out something here and there as far as ingredients go, everything has turned out delicious and helped me stay on track with my own lower sodium diet without sacrificing the taste of great food.

A great new staple in our kitchen!

We got this book a few months ago after my husband was put on a fairly strict low-sodium diet. So far, we've made at least 10 of the recipes, and we've really enjoyed them! In fact, we liked them so much that I gifted this book to my father for Christmas. I recommend this book because the recipes are easy to follow. My kids even approve! I was worried that low salt recipes would be bland, but I was wrong. I love that the book is full of recipes, yet also explains a lot of the facts about sodium and ways to avoid it without skimping in flavor. This has been our go-to book!

Great Low Sodium cookbook for EVERYONE, whether you have restrictions or not!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2017

Getting a Heart Failure diagnosis at age 59 right after rotator repair, with no symptoms prior, was a shock. Restricted sodium and fluid intake?! What?! They sent me home with a general Heart disease booklet. For weeks I thought all I could eat was fresh fruit and veggies and oatmeal. Then I found this recipe book that was just about to be released. It is great! So far every recipe we've tried is tasty and easy. This is a great starter book for how to replace seasonings too. There are 3 sections in Part One, with information on sodium, blood pressure, the things to do or not do in your kitchen, and some weekly meal plans... etc... Then great recipes like: Overnight Oatmeal with Banana and Chocolate, Roasted Salmon with Spinach-Quinoa Salad, and tonight I'm making Black Bean Croquettes with Fresh Salsa.
We've been adding more whole and organic foods for over 15 years, so we had a start on healthy diets, but skipping even more sodium is another step- and now I'm learning that it is one everyone should be doing. So, this is a great cookbook for EVERYONE, whether you have restrictions or not!

it works well with tasty recipes with a low sodium diet. It does not however contain a table of sodium content of common foods, which would have been helpful.

This book is very reader friendly and delivers a nice assortment of recipes following a basic explanation of how sodium affects a person's health. Anyone trying to minimize sodium consumption could easily vary them or come up with new ideas building on the basics presented here. I sent a print copy to a very loved brother who is trying to lower sodium intake and bought the online version for myself. I sat down to look through it and just kept reading! I bookmarked nearly every recipe! It seems after trying many of these, even a monsoon could come up with their own. Almost all basic ingredients used in them are easy to find in grocery stores or grown in the backyard.
