Well thought out and tasteful meals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I've used this book for almost 30 years now. I've never found another low sodium or reduced salt diet cook book that produced meals with flavor. Most similar books are simply an exercise in eliminating the salt and the food is without flavor and is inedible. Craig Clairborne gave his cook books a lot of thought and made sure the meals were still tasty!
SENSIBLE EATING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Written almost 30 years ago, this cookbook offers a wide variety of imaginative recipes for those who wish or need to watch and count their calories or sodium intake. In many ways it was long ahead of its time, stemming from the author's need to adopt a far more stringent regime after heart problems. Nowadays every cookbook tries to depress you by listing in ghastly detail the entire schedule of health-damaging components in a dish. Written in collaboration with his restaurateur friend Pierre Franey, the author succeeded in showing that it is possible to make food interesting even when some traditional components are omitted or substituted. A most useful addition to the bookshelf if you can find a copy.
