(More customer reviews)This is a low-fat cookbook with the words "low-fat" crossed out and "low-salt" written in in crayon. I need a low-sodium diet because of inner ear problems and I was very disappointed with this book. Consider, for example, these two recipes: "Chicken Enchiladas," p.112 and "Spinach Lasagna," p 142. The former has 684 mg sodium per 2-enchilada serving and the latter has 594 mg per serving. Sorry, folks, but this ain't "low-salt." The book does have many low-salt recipes, but the real focus is low-fat. The authors use considerably more space discussing low-fat issues than low-sodium issues and precious little of the latter. Since you're not going to eat enchiladas and lasagna every night (I hope not!), the average amount of sodium intake over, say, a week would be lower using these recipes. This is fine if your focus is to take good care of your heart, but if you're like me and you're sensitive to bursts of sodium into your system, this book doesn't cut it.
