In May 1997 I had triple bypass surgery at age 38. My wife and I determined to make an overhaul of our menus to lower cholesterol and fat intake and have found Dean Ornish's book of recipes an indispensable addition to our kitchen. The challenge was how to retain flavour and protein while doing away with fat. Like his recipes, Ornish's book fills this gap admirably. Even our non cardiac friends have enjoyed the cooking.

I do not have weight problem or dietary restrictions, but loved the book for the great tasting recipes. I recommend the vegetable soups and the great corn bread. A book well worth buying.

I borrowed this book from my local library in the hopes of finding low-fat vegetarian meals that weren't too far off the conventional track. Having both gall stones and a weight problem require me to watch my fat intake, but all too often fat-free receipes are dull. Not so with these. Even my meat-eating husband enjoyed the various bean, vegetable and grain meals. One of our favorites was a stuffed pepper with black bean sauce. We served it with some steamed veggies and followed it with the fat-free carrot cake which was dense and delicious. Preparation time for most of the recipes is not too long, though some are too complicated to think about after a day at the office. Try this one. It's well worth the investment.
