Vegetable Quiche is Outstanding!
I decided to make a recipe from the book to take to a women's group meeting that was scheduled in the morning. I made the unique rice-crust vegetable quiche recipe and was thrilled that I did. It sat up beautifully in my 9 x 13-inch pan; cut squarely; and was so delicious!

My group of 24 loved the recipe and the best part--there were people present that couldn't eat gluten and had to avoid wheat. Most "egg bakes" have bread...this recipe doesn't call for any wheat products...so it was a double winner.

Recipes in this book work! And, people sing your praises for a long time because they remember good food!

Exceptionally tasty, nutritionally responsible
If you love food, love to cook and eat, and suspect that this will ultimately kill you, get this cookbook today! Cooking A La Heart is proof that healthy eating doesn't have to be bland. There's something for everyone in this book--red meat eaters will be delighted as well as vegetarians. The replacement recipes for everything from salad dressings to Shake and Bake are absolutely delicious, and not one has been a disappointment. There's a coating for baked chicken that's essentially non-fat dry milk combined with a lot of paprika, some powdered chicken boullion, black pepper, dry mustard and Italian herbs. You put it in a bag, shake up some skinless chicken pieces in it, and bake at 375 degrees for an hour or so. The result is sublime, and totally unexpected. It's a little spicy, and the chicken absolutely melts in your mouth.

Of course, since this is a heart-healthy cookbook, there's the obligatory introduction with facts and figures about salt, fat and their relationship to heart disease and stroke, and it's interesting, but the bottom line is that these recipes taste good and are responsible choices for daily consumption. They don't require a lot of weird equipment or ingredients, aren't at all difficult to prepare and the nutrition and exchange information is at the end of each recipe.

If you're transitioning into healthy eating, this is a great start. An added bonus is to know you're doing something really good for yourself and your family. If anyone in your household already has heart issues, or you're interested in being proactive, this is a wonderful addition to your cookbook shelf.

Just first rate!
If you think heart healthy eating has to be bland or with no variety, tyr this. There are a wide variety of familiar dishes, such as chili, stews and fish dishes. Like one of the other reviewers, my copy is starting to fall apart also. I had gone through a stack of healthy eating cookbooks and this one is the best!

Great Food, Poor Bookbinding.
The recipes are excellent, but the cookbook itself is falling apart. Maybe because I use it so often. You will get better tasting results from this cookbook than from many of the other heart healthy cookbooks. I wish the publisher had included pictures of the dishes. This book has healthy versions of many of my favorite dishes from childhood, including pork chops.

Great food!
My husband had a heart attack so I bought this book to cook foods for him that I thought would be more healthy for him to eat. I don't know that much about nutrition, but I do know that these are some of the best tasting recipes that I have ever cooked...from any cookbook of any kind...and I have been cooking for a long time! I would recommend this book to anyone, heart problem or not!
