The Clevland Clinic Foundaton Creative Cooking for Renal Diets 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

The recipes are good besides being healthy for a CKD patient. They are used by the whole famiy without complaint,eliminating preparing two separate meals. After being raised on meat and potatoes and having to change eating habits, this cookbook comes as close to "normal food" as I have found.

Editorial Review:

Special diets are often difficult to follow because they soon become boring and monotonous. This cookbook was written to add variety and imagination to readers' diets. Favorite everyday and special occasion recipes are given to make meals more pleasurable and the diets easier to follow. This cookbook has been compiled through the efforts of many individuals at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Renal patients submitted many recipes, and all recipes have been tested in the Cleveland Clinic Foundation Department of Nutrition Therapy test kitchen. Dialysis and pre-dialysis patients use this book. It contains 288 recipes for holidays and entertaining as well as for everyday use. Directions are easy to follow and printed in extra-large type. Recipes are modified for sodium, potassium, protein and fluid control. Most recipes use ingredients already at hand; only a few dietetic foods are required. Index and nutrient analyses are included for individual servings and total recipes.

Practical and easy to fix meals. Good ideas for meals using every day food items.

You don't need to have Diabetes to love this book. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This is my favorite new cookbook in 20 years. Now, to be totally fair, I'm not much of a cookbook kind of gal. I have a handful of family recipes I usually rotate through without having them written down, and I never cared much for cooking or eating in the first place. I have spent the last two months, though, trying out a large sampling of the recipes in this book, and the whole family loves them. I really like one-pot-meals because I get flustered trying to time too many different pots and pans at once, with a pesky toddler getting into the clean dishes, and older kids asking for help with homework. These recipes are clear and easy and extremely delicious. I can get them done in a very reasonable amount of time. The flavors, variety, and ease of preparation can't be beat. And I love the nutritional breakdown; easy to use, even for those of us new to the nutritional needs of a type I diabetic.

My experience with this book and with MS 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

OK, I will be straight with you: it is hard to really give much credit to any of these books peddling a free, natural, and healthy cure since the cause of MS is not really known, no one is really sure how it works, and there are no rules about how exactly the effects will manifest in someone since it is unique to everyone depending on where in your brain the lesions show up.

Whew, now I have the hard rules out of the way. These ideas may be hard to hear, but that is the way it is, so take all these miracle cures with a grain of salt.

Now for the good news. I was diagnosed almost 6 years ago. I read this book shortly after. I decided to try it just to see. It does help with the symptoms, there is no doubt about it. I could feel it pretty quickly after starting the diet and I still stay with it years later because I can still tell the difference if I get off the diet.

Has it changed the course of the disease progression? Who knows...maybe it has. I can tell you that I read a couple of years ago that the amount of fat in your blood affects how quickly things (nutrients, oxygen, etc) are absorbed into your brain. So it turns out that there is probably a reasonable, scientific explanation why this diet works.

My advice: this diet DOES at least help the symptoms and therefore may be helping the diease progression. Just read as much as you can. No one can be as dedicated of an advocate for you as you can for yourself.

Editorial Review:

Hundreds of new recipes for dishes that taste terrific but stick to the diet rules so important for controlling M.S.--now completely revised to conform to the latest medical research.

Under pressure to prepare a quick, nutritious dinner? Under pressure to reduce your fat and cholesterol? When the pressure's on for a great vegetarian meal on the run, turn to Lorna Sass's second guide to the safe and delicious use of the pressure cooker.

Following the phenomenal success of Cooking Under Pressure, this collection of recipes dispels the myth of the difficult-to-use pressure cooker -- which is in fact easier and faster than the microwave -- and shows how vegetarian fare can be vibrantly colorful and full of flavor!

Bursting with rich soups, hearty stews and casseroles, zesty curries, and flavor-packed chilis, Great Vegetarion Cooking Under Pressure brings together over 150 recipes, most with cooking times of under ten minutes. Arrive in Provence with a two-minute soupe au pistou laced with garlic and fennel; serve up an elegant zucchini bisque with tomatoes and fresh basil in just five minutes; or prepare a polenta good enough for a palazzo in only ten minutes. There are also scores of perfect vegetable side dish recipes, with an instructive chart detailing how to prepare everything from artichokes to zucchini.

Lorna Sass devotes special attention to grains -- a vital part of the healthy diet -- and shows how brown rice, millet, couscous, quinoa, and bulgur can turn from gourmet store items into staples of your pantry. Whether it's Risotto with Broccoli Rabe and White Beans in five minutes, or Mediterranean Vegetable Couscous in just six, these recipes lock in delicious nutrition without tying up precious time. There's even a section about the splendid desserts that are possible with the pressure cooker, like Banana Pudding Cake and Pumpkin Bread Pudding.

Filled with informative sections about the equipment, ingredients, and language of pressure cooking, suggestions for theme menus, and mail-order resources, this compendium of high-quality, high-fiber, low-fat (and mostly cholesterol-free) dishes will become an essential guide for today's bustling cook.

The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan: Feel Full on Fewer Calories

Editorial Review:

Do you overeat because you don't feel satisfied or full? Volumetrics is based on "the science of satiety"--what researchers have learned about the food choices that make people feel full. The authors teach you how to eat low-calorie-dense, high-volume foods so that you feel like you've eaten plenty, even though you've eaten fewer calories. You'll lose weight without feeling hungry or deprived.

Here's an example of how volume affects eating. Raisins are dried grapes. But 100 calories of raisins fill only one-quarter cup, while 100 calories of fresh, whole grapes fill one and two-thirds cups. You'll feel satisfied after one and two-thirds cups of grapes, but if you're eating raisins, you're likely to keep filling your mouth. The point is not to stop eating raisins (or chocolate, cheese, or other high-calorie, low-volume foods), but to realize that you're likely to take in many more calories before your body tells you you're full. If you're trying to manage your weight, eating more low-density foods (lower-calorie foods that have a lot of volume) will make you feel full while you drop pounds.

Barbara Rolls, a respected and well-published food-nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania State University, and food writer Robert Barnett explain energy density and how to use this concept to lose weight. They include the scientific evidence about how low-density (low-calorie, high-volume) foods make you feel satisfied, the best (and worst) foods for a satisfying, lower-calorie diet, a menu plan, an exercise plan, and environmental influences on eating. You also learn which foods are easiest to overeat. This is not a fad diet--it is logical and scientifically based, yet easy to understand and put into action. --Joan Price

Editorial Review:

A proven approach to beating disease and enjoying peak health written by one of the country's most dynamic health educators.

It's a fact seldom admitted by the medical establishment: chemotherapy and radiation are only about 6% effective in fighting cancer. Prompted by public outcry, research now validates a course of cancer prevention and treatment advocated by specialists in alternative medicine and practiced for centuries in Eastern cultures--nutritional therapy.

Verne Varona shows how to stop cancer in its tracks--and even reverse it--through diet. Backed by the testimony of prominent physicians and inspiring case histories, Varona explains what kind of nourishment works best to enhance immunity and restore vitality--without sacrificing enjoyment of food. Starting with the basics of smart eating and moving to specifics on the role of antioxidants, phytochemicals, herbs, vitamins, and more in preventing and conquering cancer, he outlines a complete, easy-to-follow program for freedom from a devastating disease--and improved odds of a long, healthy life.

Aimed to make dietary changes as painless as possible, this welcome resource also features a tantalizing collection of nutritious recipes, helpful shopping and cooking tips, and sensitive advice on eating in restaurants and at social gatherings.

Why I Like THE RIVER COTTAGE COOKBOOK 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 15 people found this review helpful.

Hugh manages to capture the natural enthusiasm he exudes for the subjects of food and self sustained living in his television show, in this book.

Nice pictures, a must have in any cookery book these days, are in abundance.

The book gives a good introduction to the worlds of animal husbandry and horticulture, which is exactly what he sets out to do, he doesn't get bogged down with detail and yet doesn't skip over things either.

The writing style is easy and informal, much like the tv show itself.

A must have for anyone who liked the show.

Editorial Review:

First published in the United Kingdom in 2001, THE RIVER COTTAGE COOKBOOK quickly became a hit among food cognoscenti around the world. Now tailored for American cooks, this authoritative and animated ode to eating well is one part manifesto and one part guidebook for choosing and storing food grown in the garden, butchered from prize animals, or foraged or caught locally. Fearnley-Whittingstall writes with humor, wit, and clarity, bringing American readers what his legions of British fans have enthusiastically embraced: the best techniques and recipes for getting the most out of simple, superior food, while supporting the environment, vibrant local economies, and resourceful use of plants and animals.
