new american heart association cookbook 
2008-07-26
There is no need to buy any other cookbook as this one has everything. It is well worth the money with recipes that aren't filled with a bunch of foo foo ingredients that you can't find. I highly recommend it!
Great for beginning cooks 2008-07-03
I never was much of a cook, but after embarking on a rigorous fitness program, I was highly encouraged by my personal trainer to cook my own meals. By cooking myself, I would know exactly what I was eating. Although I don't have a heart problem (that I know about, anyway), I saw this cookbook when I was visiting someone in the hospital and noted that it was extensive and varied. It also listed the calories and other nutritional information for each recipe. So when I decided to cook, I ordered a copy. I have to say that I am very pleased. The recipes are very easy to follow, even for the novice. I don't confuse the results with gourmet meals, but they are light and tasty. Thanks to this cookbook, I eat a very varied and healthy diet and look forward every week to trying new things. That is quite a change from my old habits, where I bought a lot of prepackaged meals and tended to eat the same things week after week. I also have a cabinet full of spices that I actually use. If you are looking for a good starter cookbook for healthy eating, I highly recommend this book.
Cookbook analysis

I am truly disappointed with this cookbook. It is in a type of print that is very difficult to read even for my good eyes. The list of ingredients for most recipes is a huge deterrent in my making the majority of these recipes.

Every recipe I have tried has been excellent, I like how each recipe is broken down for fat, sodium, fiber, etc. Helps me a great deal.

As a person who has suffered a heart attack, I place great value on the recipes offered through this cookbook. Not only are the recipes a guide for healthful diet, they are very creative and quite tasty. This is a fun book to explore and to use.

The New American Heart Association Cookbook, 7th Edition 2008-02-13
Excellent book. Provides us with some great and simple receipes. As with most diets serving size mattters. This book coupled with my new digital scale has helped my wife and I shed weight. As a side benefit my blood sugar has dropped about 10 points on average. It would be nice have a chorlesterol counter included.
The New American Heart Association Cookbook 2008-01-19
This is an excellent cookbook, a "best in class". As a recovering foodie, I've tried a number of other books for low fat-low sugar-low sodium recipes and this is the best I've found. The recipes are high quality, and the results taste great.
Enjoying this cookbook 2008-01-07
While on a bike ride around Lake Tahoe, a friend suffered a heart attack. He was only 43 and in great shape. Needless to say, his experience was a wake-up call. My wife & I have tried several of the recipes since getting the book recently and have been very impressed with the recipes. They are easy to follow, and the dishes have a lot of flavor.
Outstanding variety and healthy alternatives 2007-12-02
After deciding to try to eat more heart-healthy, I checked this book out from our local public library to give some of these recipes a whirl. I have been VERY pleased with every recipe I have tried. The book contains actual recipes that average humans can cook and enjoy. Many other cookbooks I have looked at contain recipes that call for exotic, expensive, or uncommon ingredients. There are certainly some interesting ones in this book, but it isn't overwhelmingly so.
If you are looking for some variety and for healthy, low fat, low sodium, and tasty dishes, definitely give this one a try. Highly recommended! I finally bought it so I wouldn't get overdue fines from the library!
