Product Description
Product Description
Eating too much salt can contribute to many health problems, including osteoporosis, certain cancers, kidney disease and obesity, as well as raising your blood pressure and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. Governments and health organisations around the world are advising us to cut our salt intake. However, reducing your salt content doesn't have to mean bland, flavourless food, or meals that are difficult to prepare. This book shows you how to use a range of exciting alternative flavourings, herbs and spices to create tantalizing, healthy meals. What's more, all the recipes are rich in essential nutrients to help boost your health and energy levels. You can choose from a wonderful range of world flavours from different cuisines, as well as low-salt versions of firm favourites, including burgers, curries, breads, soups and sweet treats. This is the one-stop guide to low-salt cooking.

Well presented and put together, I think this is a book for someone with time to spare and who can access expensive and unusual ingredients.

This book does exactly what it says on the cover, providing a large quantity of recipes with little or no salt in. I was told by the Dr to reduce salt in my diet and so I thought this was the way to go.
What I found disappointing about this book was the lack of information about using herbs and spices to replace the salt in food, resulting in food which is quite bland. I am a reasonably good cook and managed to work my way round this by including herbs etc, but less adventurous cooks may be disappointed with the results. I also found the recipes annoyingly written as they seem to assume that anyone reading the book is physically or mentally incapable of using more than one pan at a time. Keeping things warm in the oven whilst you move to the next step.....eh? Just use more than one pan and it makes life much simpler!
Good effort but overall a disappointment.

Not only are there no nutrition values for the recipes in this book, the granola recipe which serves four, comes to a grand total of over thirty two hundred calories! What good is it to watch salt when eating a breakfast cereal of over 800 calories? Don't waste your time on this book!

No nutritional information

I would think that it would be obvious that if you're restricting salt you might want to know the sodium content of the recipes in this book. No such luck. There is zero nutritional information.
The author bakes with traditional baking powder and baking soda - both just another form of salt. There are salt-free versions available. She also uses buttermilk in her recipes which has a high sodium content.
I would also like to know the calories, fiber and fat content of the food. This is supposed to be a special diet cookbook but it's more like cooking blind.
Thank goodness I checked this out from the library before I ordered it. I'll be sure to get it back before any fines accrue. It's just not worth 10 cents a day.
