This 25th-anniversary edition of the classic, bestselling cookbook contains 600 heart-healthy recipes, 150 of them brand-new. The book has been updated to reflect the use of nonfat and low-fat ingredients that didn't exist just a few years ago. Recipes include appetizers, snacks, beverages, soups, salads, entrées (seafood, poultry, meat, vegetarian), vegetables, side dishes, sauces, breads, breakfasts, and, of course, desserts. Many are healthier versions of old favorites--such as Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken à la King, Sweet and Sour Pork, Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Devil's Food Cake, and Chocolate Chip Cookies--with some new entries that reflect modern eating trends, like Portobello Mushroom Wrap with Yogurt Curry Sauce, Pad Thai, Curried Quinoa Salad with Cranberries and Almonds, and Artichoke and Chick-Pea Pilaf. Whether you want a quick meal, a nutritious dinner the whole family will enjoy, or a festive entrée to impress guests, this book has an array of choices. Most recipes reflect AHA guidelines: no more than 30 percent total fat, 8 to 10 percent saturated fat, less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day; plenty of vegetables and grains; and moderate sugar and sodium. Some recipes are higher in fat, but you balance those with lower-fat recipes on other days of the week. Nutritional information includes calories, protein, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated), fiber, and sodium. --Joan Price |

new american heart association cookbook 
There is no need to buy any other cookbook as this one has everything. It is well worth the money with recipes that aren't filled with a bunch of foo foo ingredients that you can't find. I highly recommend it!

Great for beginning cooks
I never was much of a cook, but after embarking on a rigorous fitness program, I was highly encouraged by my personal trainer to cook my own meals. By cooking myself, I would know exactly what I was eating. Although I don't have a heart problem (that I know about, anyway), I saw this cookbook when I was visiting someone in the hospital and noted that it was extensive and varied. It also listed the calories and other nutritional information for each recipe. So when I decided to cook, I ordered a copy. I have to say that I am very pleased. The recipes are very easy to follow, even for the novice. I don't confuse the results with gourmet meals, but they are light and tasty. Thanks to this cookbook, I eat a very varied and healthy diet and look forward every week to trying new things. That is quite a change from my old habits, where I bought a lot of prepackaged meals and tended to eat the same things week after week. I also have a cabinet full of spices that I actually use. If you are looking for a good starter cookbook for healthy eating, I highly recommend this book.

Cookbook analysis 
I am truly disappointed with this cookbook. It is in a type of print that is very difficult to read even for my good eyes. The list of ingredients for most recipes is a huge deterrent in my making the majority of these recipes.

Creative and Tasty Advice for Healthful Eating
As a person who has suffered a heart attack, I place great value on the recipes offered through this cookbook. Not only are the recipes a guide for healthful diet, they are very creative and quite tasty. This is a fun book to explore and to use.
