Review
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). --K Broderick

After my husband was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure suddenly I had to learn to cook without using salt. I never was a big salt fan, but I was lost. This book was a lifesaver! It has a multitude of great recipes and they are easy to follow and don't require a lot of time. I've made several of them so far and they are all great! This is a great addition to my cookbook library! _KimLisa_ 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. _Lowsalthousewife I have been on a low sodium diet for 5 years now and this is the first book I have come across that has reciepes my husband actually enjoys! I even had friends ask me for copies of reciepes from this book because they were so tasty. Years ago there were only two books that I could find that were strictly low sodium and I was getting major low sodium burn-out rut! This really helped me get my eating back on track and actually look forward to cooking again. The only thing is a lot of these recipes are high in the sugar. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I adjust a lot of these when I see too much in them. Other wise I would get this for anyone who needs to lower their sodium. -BAda- --BAda

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?! --Douginaustin

500 Low Sodium Recipes
Very easy to follow. Have tried several of the recipes with great success. Particularly like the ideas for low-salt seasonings. Some things need to be adapted, as I live in Spain, and this book was written for the American market. Never-the-less, it has spiked my enthusiasm to experiment with my own favourite recipes.
