Great read for low sodium diets!! by Benny Franklin
Great product and shipped quickly. Just what the doctor ordered (for low sodium diet recipes).

Well worth owning by R. Dalton
This a no-nonsense approach to reducing your sodium intake, even suggesting brands that offer low and no sodium products. After having a high blood pressure reading recently, I started looking for ways to reduce my sodium intake. This book was much better than others I looked at. The recipes are easy to follow and the food that you make with them is very good. What more do you want?

Great way to make changes in your eating habits by R. Sayre
I bought this book because someone close to me needed to get his sodium down immediately. I’ve made several recipes from the book: turkey chilli, chicken tagine, coq au vin, chicken paprika, and several appetizers and desserts. Generally, the recipes are quite good– guests at your table will not be able to tell the difference. I haven’t had as much luck with the desserts, but if you are looking for really good recipes that don’t taste like wallpaper paste, this is the book. I really like the extensive appendices of information on how to locate low sodium products and adapt your own recipes. I definitely recommend this. I did have to buy quite a collection of spices and cooking wines to flavor food, but now that I have all that, most recipes are easy to put together. Warning: when she says spicy, she means it! She has a tongue of steel. I’ve learned to back off the cayenne and Tabasco in her recipes.

A cornucopia of quick and delicious dishes that will reduce salt intake while enhancing flavorful dining by Midwest Book Review
Most Americans simply use to much salt in their foods. For some, excess sodium is putting their health into serious jeopardy. For anyone who must be “salt conscious” about what they eat or serve, The Hasty Gourmet Low Salt Favorites is a compendium of three hundred “kitchen cook friendly” recipes that will offer a cornucopia of quick and delicious dishes that will reduce salt intake while enhancing flavorful dining. In addition to savory dishes ranging from Curried Yam and Apple Bisque; Asparagus Turkey with Cream Sauce; and Onion Casserole; to Celery with Pimento-Walnut Cheese; Potato Crusted Breakfast Pizza; and Pecan Pie with Bourbon Creme, The Hasty Gourmet Low Salt Favorites also provides such useful advice regarding what to stock in the low-salt pantry, low-salt shopping tips (including which brands to by and which to avoid), limiting sodium without sacrificing flavor, and the fine culinary art of substituting ingredients when adapting favorite recipes.
