Summary: LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 2009-01-05
Comment: I love this cookbook, it uses REAL food that is readily available (A huge plus in my rural area)and the food is wonderful. I have made many of the recipes so far and even my kids loved the results. One of the best things about it is that the food taste normal, not low sodium, not plain and yucky. I have found myself using this cookbook over all my others, which says a lot cause I have over a hundred. Although a little sugary for my tastes, the soft granola bars are FABULOUS and my kids beg me to make them. Kudos to you Dick Logue and I am looking forward to more books.

Summary: Best out of my 9 low sodium cookbooks 2008-12-18
Comment: The recipes are quite good and use common ingredients and techniques. I have been able to drop my beta blocker and also take a lower dose of my ACE inhibitor since starting to cook out of it. There is a good variety of recipes. Every recipe I have made has turned out well, and my family has also enjoyed them.

Summary: Very nice Low Sodium Cookbook 2008-11-10
Comment: I purchased this for my mother. She was wanting a cookbook which has Low Sodium recipes in it to help control her blood pressure.
She likes this cookbook very much. I also looked through it, and like how neatly the recipes are laid out in the book. There are no pictures, but the recipes are very easy to read, and they aren't all crammed onto each page like some cookbooks are. My mother also likes how the author comments about some of the recipes.
I also purchased this cookbook because it looked the best in terms of the recipes we most likely would eat. Some of the other cookbooks have weird ingredients that we would be very unlikely to find or use. We did order some Sodium Free Baking Powder from a health store.
This cookbook has 500 recipes, which is a lot! I thought that since this was a paperback cookbook, it wouldn't be as nice as a spiral bound cookbook, but its weight causes it to lay flat when its opened, or at least most of the middle part of the book.
The author does have his own website with a mailing list which he emails out a newsletter with recipes every now and then. (http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com)
This review probably isn't a lot of help, but we do like this cookbook very much which has some nice recipes that actually taste quite good with low sodium.

Summary: Get Part of Your Life Back 2008-09-24
Comment: Best cookbook I've found -- by far -- for low sodium recipes. If you've been relegated to a low sodium diet, this book will give you part of your life back! So far I've only tried a few of these recipes, but each one has left me very pleasantly surprised. This book has so many recipes for food I thought was off-limits, and the ones I have tried have been positively superb. Just to name a few excellent choices -- Sesame Chicken, French Bread Pizza, chicken nuggets, and focaccia. Who knew I could eat this stuff, with very sodium, and that it would taste great?!

Summary: Great collection, but many errors 2008-07-07
Comment: 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.
