Book Reviews of The New American Heart Association Cookbook, 7th Edition
Book Review: It looks good, if you ignore the portion control
Summary: 1 Stars
First and foremost, you are going to have some time and SERIOUS kitchenware for a lot of these orders. But my absolute number one complaint is the portion sizes. One recipe I just looked at "serves 8 people" and is 4 1/2 cups of ingredients and four medium onions. I weigh 162lbs, I'm 31, and I have arterial trouble (not blockage), and high blood pressure. so finding heart healthy recipes for one person is kind of a challenge, but not optional. All I need to avoid is sodium and fat. The sodium content in this entire recipe is 56% of a normal person's RDA. This amount exceeds mine. I am a serious eater. I can eat that much of something in a single sitting, no problem. For me to cut this up 8 ways makes me anorexic, as it would for most people. You eat one serving, and you go back for some leftovers in half an hour. It really defeats the purpose of calling it a "heart healthy" cookbook. Personally, I have found ways elsewhere on the internet to reduce my sodium intake to less than half the normal person's 2000mg per day. I have cut my fat consumption down to near zero. All you have to do is know what is in the ingredients you use, and what is in them to make some simple calculations. And for your own sake, if a recipe asks for salt, don't use it (or salt substitute, that stuff is gross). Fill up your spice rack with lots of other stuff. You want heart healthy recipes? They really aren't that hard to find. Youtube can give you some excellent ideas on how to get started with a recipe, and the rest of the internet is useful for finding ways to actually make meal-sized portions that won't kill you. I can make things slow or fast, but most importantly, won't kill you (as quickly) ;)

From the Hardcover edition.
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
