Description:

When a serious heart problem caused Don Gazzaniga to give up his career in communications, he was warned to keep to a diet with very little salt or other sodium. Undaunted, he discovered a way to continue enjoying the meals he loved and still keep his sodium level far below what most cardiologists feel they can expect from their patients.
 
The idea has led to three published books found on the kitchen shelves of thousands of grateful families dealing with congestive heart failure. First came a large general cookbook. It was followed by a baking book, and then a book of recipes for light meals and snacks. What could be next?
Before Don's illness, he and his wife, Maureen, traveled a lot. Don's job took him all over the globe. And wherever they went, they sought out that country's traditional dishes. When the light-meals book was finished, Don was looking for yet another low- sodium cookbook idea. He and Maureen pulled out their collection of recipes, did their magic of making them very low on sodium, and voilà! A delicious and healthy treat for the entire family.

4Useful and Tasty  Aug 11, 2010
By E. McKechnie
I got this book from the library to try it and didn't want to give it back. The recipe for faux soy sauce alone makes the book worthwhile--I can eat sushi again! I truly don't understand the first reviewer's complaint that the book had too many recipes from other countries (!) Duh! It's an INTERNATIONAL cookbook! Well, I like international food and am glad I don't have to give that up to eat low sodium. I'm buying this baby and it'll have a place on my shelf for sure.

5Low sodium Soy Sauce !!!  Feb 23, 2011
By S. Lee
The low sodium soy sauce is one of the many creative recipes. Regular and even store labeled low sodium soy sauce has alot of sodium. But the ingenius recipe shrinks sodium to 1.775 mg per table spoon. I was looking for high potassium diet as well as low sodium. So I looked in the index for potato recipes. I found Irish mash potatoes and potato salad. The potato salad was ingenius, because mayonaise had to be avoided. Most Americans are eating these international recipes, so I found lots of recipes that I longed for and many new recipes.

I wish someone would create a high potassium low sodium cookbook. But for now, I just look for potato recipes, etc.

5Great advice and recipes  Sep 28, 2011
By T.C. Owens
Some of the recipes require ingredients I don't usually have around the house, but those are few and far between. The instructions are easy to follow and the results of the recipes I've tried are quite tasty. No-salt-added/low sodium cooking is essential for extending the lives of congestive heart failure patients. The author is living proof of the success of drastically cutting salt in the diet. His advice and recipes have helped my husband immensely in his recovery. As for myself, it has taken over 3 months for my desire for salty foods to diminish, something the hospital's nutritionist said is normal. Now on the rare occasion when I crave salty things, 5 olives will suffice when before I'd eat an entire bag of chips and want more. My blood pressure has dropped significantly and I've lost 35 pounds since May, 2011. Until my husband developed CHF, we had no idea how addictive and how dangerous even the FDA-recommended daily maximum for salt is (1500 mg. to 2300 mg.) and how much sodium we had been consuming through everyday foods, not just junk food, which is worse. I highly recommend books by this author.

4The low salt diet cookbook  Mar 16, 2012
By Jan & Jim
Some of these recipes have become favorites with me including the flavor enhancers, marinara sauce & sausage recipes. My only criticism is that all the bread recipes were written for bread machines & I've had to try to adapt them to traditional methods.
