Product Description
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.

I LOVE this book! by J. Daigle (Destrehan, LA)  5 Stars
November 20, 2009
This book has been a blessing. It is so easy to follow! The receipes are great! There are a lot of receipes that we would normally eat. With these receipes my husband feels like he's eating a normal diet and not a "special renal diet". The receipes are easy to follow with foods I already have at home. It is a great value for the price! The print is large and easy to read. The nutrition information at the back of the book is great and neatly organized. The book is definitely worth purchasing! THANK YOU for this book!!

Not so great by Katie R. Taylor (Los Angeles, CA)  1 Stars
September 02, 2009
I don't see how this is a renal cookbook. There is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much protein in these recipes....you would have to only eat the tiniest serving in order to be within your daily allowance of protein....it is more like a white trash recipe cookbook too....crappy, unhealthy, high fat recipes in HUGE print.
Not Recommended

Great for new patient with ckd by K. Boyd (Burton, MI USA)  4 Stars
July 01, 2009
My mom was recently diagnosed with CKD. Even after talking with all the experts at the hospital she wanted a cookbook to help guide her while making meals. I ordered the book for her and reviewed it before she had a chance to check it out. I thought is was helpful. My mom liked it also.
1. The large print was great for my parents.
2. It had recipes that worked for everyday meals.
3. It had instructions about how to cook foods that tend to be high in Sodium and Potassium.
4. It had all the protein, sodium, potassium contents for each serving.
5. There are a lot of dessert recipes, but there was a nice selection of main dish and side dish recipes.

clarity? by Angela Peik  3 Stars
February 20, 2009
There was no clarity or explainations on the renal diet other than the nutrient guidelines and most of the recipes were for more that 4 people. We are a family of 2 and this required me to try to modify the amounts of the recipes which meant the nutritional values were now inaccurate. I was hoping for more information regarding the renal diet.I tried several of the recipes and they were quite bland. Some had good ideas that could be expanded on. They used ingredients that I was told were now forbidden.

Dissapointment by Albert Serianni 1 Stars
December 06, 2008
This book was nothing like I expected. I wanted to know what a Kidney dialysis patient shoulld and should not eat and what foods are good for dialysis patients and what foods are harmfu. This book "Creative Cooking For Renal Diets" was strictly a routine Cook Book and not a very good one at that! Quite frankly, I would like to return it in exchage for a book that informs Kidney dialysis patients about which foods are medically good to eat and why and which foods to medically avoid and why? I do not need to know how to cook as I have been a gourmet chef for 50 years , but have been struck with kidney failure!PLease help me find the right book: Thank you,
Kind regards,
Albert Serianni
