The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook

Donald Gazzaniga, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, was headed for a heart transplant - the only effective medical treatment. Urged by his doctor to keep his sodium intake "under 1,500 - 2,000 mg a day," Don headed for the kitchen and went to work. Aware that cutting out table salt is the barest beginning of a true low-sodium diet, Don devised recipes for delicious low-sodium dishes that added up to less than 500 mg daily, 70 percent lower than those in other low-sodium cookbooks. The result? Don's name has been removed from the transplant list, and his doctors believe that his diet played a significant role. This cookbook contains hundreds of good-tasting, easy-to-make recipes.
