Lite Up Your Life: A Delicious Variety of Low-Sodium, Low-Cholesterol, Low-Fat Recipes for Everyday Eating

Rating:
Summary: Well-rounded and practical cookbook
Review: I really appreciated finding this informative and practical cookbook that helped me change our family's eating habits after my husband was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. It is crucial that he be on a low-sodium diet and it was very difficult to find a cookbook that provided both low-sodium and low-fat/cholesterol. The recipes are easy to follow and make. The ingredients can easily be found at the local grocery store. I especially liked the section at the beginning of the book explaining the various spices and how to complement the flavors of your food. I also appreciated the listing of brand names that have low-sodium products. Not all recipes are winners, but it gives you a solid range that you can draw from when you try to maintain a feeling that you are eating "normal" food, not a bland diet. Overall a very good cookbook that has become an integral part of my daily food preparation.
