500 Low-Sodium Recipes from Chef Dick Logue

Amazon Customer: I have purchased two low sodium books before this.

The first two were very bare bones. This is an amazing book with so many recipes and actual choices.

This book gives me delicious choices. It is so good, I almost cried.

Angella: I started a low sodium diet for weight loss purposes. Once I started paying attention to the sodium on the labels I was shocked! I started researching to find substitutes and found a lot but not enough for a full recipe. Therefore I was making 2 dinners a night (one for the family and something for me) or just not eating at all. One day I barely made it to work because I was shaky and lightheaded (yes I absolutely should not have drove but I work 8 mins away) but knew that I had several nurses and doctors available to me at the office. They immediately took my blood sugar which was low. That was when I realized I can not just not eat dinner or barely eat and have to find a better way. I found this cookbook and told my family to suck it up this is happening! Well let me tell you I have not had one single complaint from my husband or adult children and as a matter of fact they have loved every recipe so far! The author did all the research I was trying to do for me and I can not tell you how thankful I am! I'm 6 foot and was 206, currently I'm 186 and able to maintain my weight by following my strict low sodium diet and meds to get my sugar in check...trust me, I do cheat lol we all...

Brenda-Lee: I should have bought this book when I first found out my husband had high blood pressure issues. Lots of great info and he has loved all the recipes i've made so far. We are both extremely happy with this book, so I've just ordered the 500 recipes to make in 15 minutes book

Sprout42: This book was very helpful to me in starting a low-sodium diet. There are recipes for basic comfort foods as well as breads, cakes (with the help of no-sodium baking powder) and sweets. Recipes for condiments also are especially helpful. Using this book and with effort, I am able to make most foods that we were accustomed to.
Most of the recipes are quite tasty. A few of them had my salt-loving son forgetting to reach for the salt shaker on the table. The very first recipe I made was a hit with the entire family, and the recipes for mustard, hummus and bread turned out well with practice.
My only quibble is with the index, and is the reason I can't give this book 5 stars. It is basically just an alphabetical listing of recipes. Occasionally there are some more helpful entries but it is spotty. An example of where it is helpful is raisins, giving the list of recipes that include raisins. Same for chicken and for salads. There are several instances in which the index works just fine, but that makes it so much more frustrating when it doesn't. For instance, there is a recipe called "slow cooker pork stew". It is listed under its exact title, and it is listed under slow cooker...

Doug W. Murray: I have clients with salt restriction diets and the rest of them should be too. But I have found the recipes in this book really helpful. There are so many books on this topic that range from poor to very good and this one is in the latter group. Helpful with good ideas.

T Mac Lellan: This book is wonderful for anyone who has to limit their salt intake. The recipes are great and ideally realistic
for the average cook. The information is very good and the recipes are clear,concise and easy to follow.
You can make all your own sauces,breads,deserts and main meals with just this one book. They are tasty
and interesting and you don't miss the salt at all.
I would recomend this book to any one who is interested in making healthy and good tasting meals.

StrangeDays: THis book provides a range of easy to follow recipes and some inventive ways of dodging the salt bullet. I think it offers a good range of ideas and inspirations for adapting your cooking - although perhaps it wasn't very creative.
In some respects it was all a bit pedestrian and common sense. That said, it did offer a lot of information that was of use and, as I say, some canny ideas. So four stars.

YoMamma: I ordered this book after receiving bad news about the health of my kidneys and instructions to limit my sodium intake to 2 grams (2000 milligrams) a day. Easier said than done. I was in a funk about some of my favorite foods and began looking for a cookbook which would have some good (as in tasty) recipes in it that would help me stay within the daily limit the doctor had specified.

This book was the answer. I read through the reviews before ordering and was most impressed with one reviewer who said this book was her go-to book for recipes. I have two or three of those, and know what that means to a cook as she/he prepares to entertain or feed his/her family with something delicious and nourishing and enticing. After reading through most of the recipes in this book, I can see that it will become my go-to recipe book, as well.

Not only is the book chock full of standard, down-home cooking recipes (ribs, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, green bean casserole, etc), adjusted for a low salt diet, the introduction and first chapter discuss the low salt lifestyle. Every recipe is analyzed for its nutritional content, i.e., calories, water,...
