Easy, concise, and witty recipes for my heart..

I love the recipes. I love the witty and informative notes at the bottom of the page that tell me why something is good for me. It is like having a personal chef and my cardiologist next to me talking me through what I need to keep heart healthy. Thanks,I feel better already!

Exactly what I have been looking for!

I just recieved this cookbook and love it. The first part has great information on 40 heart healthy foods and the second part uses these foods in tasty recipes. There are many tips listed throughout the book that I have found helpful in understanding healthy food preparation. I have made several dishes including; chili, warm kale salad, applesauce oatmeal cookies, tofu mayonnaise... all were delicious. It feels good preparing dishes for my family that are heart healthy and yummy at the same time. There is nothing in this cookbook that you will feel guilty about eating, and it tastes good too, imagine that!
