After a horrible scare I brought lots of 'healthy heart' type cook books, this being the best so far. Reasonably priced, good pictures, fantastic recipes. My partner was scared we would be eating things like pea soup and celery all the time but this book allows us to eat the things we like with just a few simple changes that do not hinder the taste. Even my 11 year old is happy! Would recommend this to any one even with out heart problems as I'm learning that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURING! For any one who cares about their health, this is a good book.
