Low-Salt Living

From Executive Chef Fred Crittela:
I am a chef of 45 years with a heart condition. I met Coleen at the hospital where she was my NP and gave me this book.
Coleen Balch gives us the tools to understand how to enjoy a low salt life style and the recipes are easy to follow. Coleen is a natural chef and understands cooking techniques and how to teach them. The way she explains the medical aspects is brilliant. She tell us in plain language that's easy to understand and there’s always a sprinkle humor throughout.
This book taught me great cooking tips and knowledge that will make my life better. I would not call it a handbook . . . I would call it THE BIBLE for low salt living.

From Dr. Dube, a gerontologist:
I loved your cookbook. My CHF/ITALIAN Mother in Law now has it. I promptly took it down to the gift shop and said we should be selling it HERE at the hospital.
Thanks. Nicely done.

From Cynthia in England:
I now understand about sodium and how dangerous it is, especially when one has high blood pressure. Also I now know precisely how much I am allowed per day. The leaflet I received from a hospital in London was quoting salt not sodium and I was expected to do the calculations to find out the sodium content - not easy!! This is what set me off on the search for a book I could understand and follow. Until I read your book I had no idea that such things as milk contained sodium, not to mention all the other places it hides.

Low-sodium cooking doesn't have to be tasteless.

Coleen's recipes are "good home cooking". With so much flavor, you never miss the saltshaker!

Low-Sodium cooking is not as difficult as it may seem.

Brittney:
Clear and easy to follow.

Pertinent, factual information interjected with humor makes it an enjoyable read.

We learned things we never knew before.

The format of the book is so easy to follow and the binding makes it lay flat on the counter when you're cooking. It's great!

You have truly got my attention. I will try my very best to stay away from salt. Thank you
