  • The folks at LivingLowSodium.com – Thank you so much for adding us to your site. But most of all thank you for your book. Your Guide has helped me and continues to help me (and my better half) manage this diet. It’s dog eared and all but has a prominent place in our kitchen. I wouldn’t say we’re old hands at this, but with your help, we don’t think of the diet as a pain in the neck anymore (well, not much anyway).
  • Heart Healthy Living – Sodium-sleuthing aid. Finding low-sodium brands at the supermarket can be time-consuming. You’ll find it easier with the Pocket Guide to Low Sodium Foods.

  • The Senior Times –A reference book for people who are on a low sodium diet or have problems with a craving for salt… offers tips to reducing salt, lists foods that are naturally high in sodium and tells the reader how to watch for highly salted foods when dining out. The guide part of the book is the most important data in the book because in part 1 it rates the sodium content in every grocery item you purchase. Part 2 rates quick serve restaurant chains.
  • So Young! –Easy, pocket reference takes you aisle-by-supermarket aisle listing only low-salt and sodium products, saving you tedium and trouble… tells where to get fast food favorites, e.g., pizza, french fries and hamburgers, that won’t break your low-salt dietary bank.

Each entry lists the estimated sodium content per serving, and often calories, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, fiber and sugars as well. An excellent resource and shopping guide for anyone looking to lower their salt intake… can be easily slipped into any purse or pocket for use when dining out or shopping at the supermarket.
  • Prevention Magazine –Sodium sensitivity got you down? You may feel like you need a nutrition degree to figure out what foods you can eat. Don’t panic!

The recipes are easy to follow and the food that you make with them is very good. What more do you want?
  • T.O. – The recipes in this book are excellent. I’ve tried several and didn’t have to run to the store to find “x” ingredients that I didn’t already have at home. The recipes in this book were very useful as are some of the tips by the author. I use this book several times a week.
  • Barbara T, California – When my husband was told to severely limit his salt intake, I panicked, but after using the recipes in this book for several meals, I was able to relax. He has enjoyed them and so have I.
  • B.H., Massachusetts – This book is a great resource for both recipes, reduced salt products, and general information on making your diet both healthy and tasty.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys food and wants to stay healthy. Enjoy.
  • Noah – The Hasty Gourmet Low Salt Favorites is exactly what it says it is. The recipes are easy to make, don’t take a lot of prep time, and in spite of their low sodium content, are a delight for the palate. It’s a must-have for those whose sodium intake is restricted, but still want to enjoy preparing and eating meals that take no more fuss or bother than others. The selection of items is varied enough so that even the most picky eater would find meals that please their taste buds. Perhaps the best review is simply to say that in our home it gets used often!
  • The Midwest Book Review –A cornucopia of quick and delicious dishes that will reduce salt intake while enhancing flavorful dining… Most Americans simply use to much salt in their foods. For some, excess sodium is putting their health into serious jeopardy. For anyone who must be “salt conscious” about what they eat or serve, The Hasty Gourmet Low Salt Favorites is a compendium of three hundred “kitchen cook friendly” recipes that will offer a cornucopia of quick and delicious dishes that will reduce salt intake while enhancing flavorful dining…  The Hasty Gourmet Low Salt Favorites also provides such useful advice regarding what to stock in the low-salt pantry, low-salt shopping tips (including which brands to by and which to avoid), limiting sodium without sacrificing flavor, and the fine culinary art of substituting ingredients when adapting favorite recipes.
