Customer Reviews

Not good

Lower in sodium but tripple in potassium - just as bad for blood pressure..

500 Low Sodium

Very pleased with this cookbook. My husband is on a very strict no salt diet for liver disease. He saw the soy sauce substitute recipe, he said he felt as if he had been given a new lease on life. My thanks to Mr. Lotus. The book was in great shape and just as described.

If you are LoSo you NEED this book!

The gold standard for those of us who eat low sodium. Recipes are well written and easy to use. Most have easy-to-find ingredients and are simple to replicate. It's my go-to for LoSo recipes.

Very nice Low Sodium Cookbook

I purchased this for my mother. She was wanting a cookbook which has Low Sodium recipes in it to help control her blood pressure. She likes this cookbook very much. I also looked through it, and like how neatly the recipes are laid out in the book. There are no pictures, but the recipes are very easy to read, and they aren't all crammed onto each page like some cookbooks are. My mother also likes how the author comments about some of the recipes. I also purchased this cookbook because it looked the best in terms of the recipes we most likely would eat. Some of the other cookbooks have weird ingredients that we would be very unlikely to find or use. We did order some Sodium Free Baking Powder from a health store. This cookbook has 500 recipes, which is a lot! I thought that since this was a paperback cookbook, it wouldn't be as nice as a spiral bound cookbook, but its weight causes it to lay flat when its opened, or at least most of the middle part of the book. The author does have his own website with a mailing list which he emails out a newsletter with recipes every now and then. (http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com) This review probably isn't a lot of help, but we do like this cookbook very much which has some nice recipes that actually taste quite good with low sodium.

Get Part of Your Life Back

Best cookbook I've found -- by far -- for low sodium recipes. If you've been relegated to a low sodium diet, this book will give you part of your life back! So far I've only tried a few of these recipes, but each one has left me very pleasantly surprised. This book has so many recipes for food I thought was off-limits, and the ones I have tried have been positively superb. Just to name a few excellent choices -- Sesame Chicken, French Bread Pizza, chicken nuggets, and focaccia. Who knew I could eat this stuff, with very sodium, and that it would taste great?!

Saves lives, tastes good.

We love the book because it has lots of recipes, most of them very tasty. My husband and his cardiologist are very pleased because lower salt means fewer drugs and lower doses.

Low salt does not mean low taste

This is a great cookbook. I am an avid cook. My husband's low salt diet seemed like it would be a low taste one - but amazingly using Dick L's recipes has meant we have good food. I haven't even gotten the salt shaker out to flavor up my portions. There are plenty of comfort foods that taste great. The low salt bread machine recipes came out really well - which was a surprise to me since I had always thought salt was a necessity for proper bread. Every recipe I've prepared so far has been excellent. He has included little tricks and ingredients that make you not miss the salt. If you are newly diagnosed with any kind of illness that necessitates a low salt diet - you need this cookbook. He includes complete nutrition information for every recipe (including sodium and potassium).
