Synopsis:

Beware of sodium? No need to forego baked goodies with this unusual baking book by the author of the No-Salt, Lowest Sodium Diet Cookbook.

Diagnosed with congestive heart failure and facing a heart transplant, Donald Gazzaniga was 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. Aware that cutting out table salt is only the barest beginning of a true low-sodium diet, he devised delicious recipes adding up to less than 500 milligrams daily--70% lower than other low-sodium cookbooks. The result? Don's name was removed from the transplant list, and his doctors believe his diet played a significant role.

After sharing his initial success in The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Cookbook, readers wrote to Don asking for more: specifically for a book packed with bread, cakes, cookies, muffins, tea breads, and baked goods.

To create The No-Salt, Lowest-Sodium Baking Book, Don teamed up with his daughter, professional nutritionist Dr. Jeannie Gazzaniga Moloo. Together, they filled this book with healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make recipes.

Just like his first book, this guide provides the exact sodium content of every single ingredient. It offers satisfying substitutes for flavorings that heart failure and high blood pressure patients need to avoid. You'll also find practical advice for identifying low-sodium prepared foods and navigating restaurant menus with confidence. Go for it!
