Product Description:
Donald Gazzaniga, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, was headed for a heart transplant. Urged by his doctor to keep his sodium intake “under 1,500 to 2,000 milligrams a day,” Don headed for the kitchen and went to work devising recipes for delicious low-sodium dishes that added up to less than 500 milligrams daily. The results? Don’s name has been removed from the transplant list, and Don shared his recipes with the world in The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook.Readers of that first book have kept in touch with Don via his Web site, and have written him letters asking for more. What they most often ask for is a book with more bread recipes, more recipes for cakes and cookies and muffins and tea breads, more of all those great baked things—in short, for the book you now hold in your hands. Don teamed up with his daughter, professional nutritionist Dr. Jeannie Gazzaniga Moloo, to fill The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Baking Book with recipes that are as healthy and delicious as possible. As in the previous book, they tell you just how much sodium is in each ingredient. They provide satisfactory substitutes for flavorings that patients with congestive heart failure and high blood pressure shouldn’t have. All easy to make and delicious to eat. Go for it!

All of us need to eat less salt, but until I started to care for my elderly father, it was not high on my priority list. For him, it is critical to managing his heart condition. I went searching for low-salt bread and cookies at every store within driving distance and found the selection very limited. I even had a Whole Foods bakery custom-make some low-salt items for Dad, but he didn't care for them.
So then I decided I would bake for Dad and went hunting for resources. Don Gazzaniga ... Read More
Rating:  - Sound Low Sodium Baking Advice
Overall good book, with good tips on low sodium baking, though if buying Donald Gazzaniga's "The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook", which is an ESSENTIAL for anyone serious about low sodium cooking, you can get away without owning this book.
Rating: - book
Excellent book for those with CHF or even to just watch your salt intake. The recipes are easy to follow and jummy!
Rating:  - Don't waste your money
After spending a lot of money to buy the book and the ingredients for recipes in this book, everything I tried was a tasteless flop. You'll be better off to use regular recipes and just leave off the salt.
Rating: - Thanks, Don!
What an asset! This is a must for anyone on a low-sodium diet.
It has opened many venues I did not consider.
A real life-saver for those lost in the confusion about low-sodium diets.
