Summary: Eat Smart for a Healthy Heart Cookbook
Review: I have had this book for many years, but did not actually ever use it until this year, and it is fabulous! The recipes are easy, the ingredients are mutiple use (so you don't buy an ingredient and only use once) and everything tastes fabulous. My husband is very picky about food and he just raves about the items that I have cooked from this book. It really helps to have the combos for meal planning and grocery shopping as well. And the desserts, well, they are outstanding!!

Summary: Practical
Review: While I'm not overly excited about the design in this cookbook, it is practical. Each recipe has been analyzed and the Calories, Menu Exchange Pattern and Nutritional Information is provided. This is written for individuals with Heart disease and high blood pressure, but is also fine for those who are incorporating lifestyle changes to improve their general health. There is a special section for Atherosclerosis and Heart Disease and a 13 step plan to eating smart. The recipes were designed using a lunch and dinner format. Restaurant chefs designed the menus to include varied colors, textures and flavors. Each of the recipes have been analyzed by computer and this information is printed by each recipe. The Contents Include: Appetizers
Cold Soups
Hot Soups
Salads
Vegetable Salads
Seafood Salads
Pasta Salads
Fish & Shellfish
Poultry
Beef
Veal
Pork
Lamb
Game
Vegetables
Rice, Noodles and Grains
Warm Desserts
Cold Fruits and Puddings
Frozen Desserts Cakes and Pastries
Cookies
Yeast Breads
Quick Breads I found the way the cookbook was set up to be a bit confusing for me at least. I like all of the recipes for yeast breads to be in one area and here they are spaced out. You can still find the recipes easily enough, but I prefer a different format. If you like having someone plan your menus, then this is the book for you.
