Food tastes best when cooked with a lot of heart. This book offers many easy recipes and easy techniques to foster a healthy heart. We can't control all the risk factors for heart disease and stroke, but this cookbook shows you how you can control many of the most damaging risk factors.
The recipes in this book prove that food can be good for you and to you. All the recipes sound delicious, flavorful and simple to make. The ingredients are all easily found in the grocery store. Cook tips accompany most recipes. The recipes are divided by 12 cooking methods -- grilling, braising, stir-frying, slow cooking, baking, et al -- and cover the globe.
Each recipe lists nutritional information per serving which is immensely helpful. Calories, protein, cholesterol, fat, carbs, dietary exchanges.
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to live a healthier, more mindful lifestyle. When you cook at home, you are more in control of the amounts of saturated and trans fats, sodium, and added sugars you consume. One drawback is the book could have used more photographs.
Bottom line: Heart your body, it's the only one you have.
I received this book from Blogging for books for this review.
