557.0. "Healthy Food Recipe Books" by CSC32::M_MITCHELL () Fri Feb 09 1990 14:31

    I am new to this conference and haven't been able to locate the
    information I need.  My wife has been forced to go on a low salt,
    low sugar and low fat diet due to a medical condition and I am
    looking to find a recipe book that has recipes for us.  I am 
    participating in the diet and am getting tired of turkey sandwichs
    on 7 grain bread with a bananna and a glass of water.  If anybody
    has any suggestions for a book with healthy recipes Id really
    appreciate it.
    
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Still Life with Menu is her newest one -- and I think a little more
    fat-conscious than the others. The New Laurel's Kitchen, also
    vegetarian has many low-fat, "healthy" recipes. My favorite is still
    Jane Brody's Good Food Book - half the book is on nutrition,food,
    cooking and eating tips, the other half is yummy low-fat,low salt recipes.

557.3Heart SmartAIMHI::DANIELSMon Feb 12 1990 18:089
    Heart Smart is in paperback and is especially low in salt and fat.
    It breaks down the recipes into breads, fats, etc.
    
    
    Lean and Luscious one and two have a lot of low fat and low salt
    recipes, but not all of them.  However, each recipe is followed by a
    breakdown of breads,fats,protein,fruit, etc along with the Mg. of salt,
    cholesterol, etc.

557.4Cooking Light cookbook - looks greatCOMET::BOLDENWed Feb 14 1990 19:0117
    I just bought a cookbook called "Cooking Light" Cookbook for 1990.
    It seems to be very good (has lots of recipes).  This book lists
    not only calories, but grams of protein/fat/carbohydrate/cholesterol/
    iron/sodium/calcium.
    
    It seems to have just about everything from breakfasts, brunches,
    lunches, dinners.  These are both plain and elaborate.
    
    If you would like to order it:
    
    Cooking Light Books
    P.O. Box 832463
    Birmingham, AL  35201
    
    This particular book cost 14.99 plus 2.99 for postage.

    Yup, it's a good cookbook, but be careful. When you buy one, you'll
    automatically be sent a new one every year. They are good about
    stopping it though, and accepting returns.
