Cookbooks to live by

The first low-sodium cookbook that I bought (the day after Ed was released from the hospital) was the The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook. We both love it. Not only are the recipes all delicious and full of flavor, but it is also full of tips for those who are just adapting to a low-sodium diet. Additionally, the nutrition facts for each recipe (including potassium) is listed as well as the sodium content of the ingrediants (so if you have to substitute ingrediants you can calculate how it affects the sodium content).

I just recently picked up the American Heart Association's Low Salt Cookbook  . It is amazing. It is chockfull of ways to make the everyday things that Ed has been missing, including, breakfast sausage! This opens a whole new chapter in our cooking.
