Thanks to BookSprout for a copy of this cookbook and this is my freely given opinion.
Having recently made some lifestyle and diet changes, I am looking for new and inspiring healthy recipes for myself and husband. This is a pretty comprehensive guide that offers recipes and meal plans. Some appear a bit bland and overly simplistic, and I was not impressed by the fact that this is supposed to be a DASH diet book, but there is quite a bit of use of prepared canned foods... many processed foods contain quite a bit of sodium, which seems counterintuitive to a diet that is supposed to be a Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension.
For example - the recipe for Zesty Tomato Soup has the following ingredients....
2 tbsp croutons
1 can of condensed low fat, low sodium tomato soup
1 medium chopped tomato
1 can of fat free milk
1 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh chopped basil or cilantro
First of all - a tomato soup recipe where the base of the recipe is a can of tomato soup??? I know it says it is for beginners - but really? Also, how is this zesty? Maybe creamy tomato soup since there is the use of canned milk??? Also, 20 minutes to heat up canned soup????
On saying that, many of the other recipes are not along this line, but there is a lot of use of prepared stock, canned things, etc, and then the addition of a fair amount of salt - for example, there is another tomato soup recipe, the Silky Tomato Soup, that serves 4, and uses low sodium tomato paste, and stock (along with fresh tomatoes, tofu, cherry tomatoes, etc) but then calls for the addition of 1 tsp of salt.
There were a number of recipes that did appeal to me though, at least as a basis to riff on, such as
bean, squash, tomato stew, the carrot/ginger soup, the roasted eggplant sandwich, the artichoke feta dip (though I do wonder at the salt in that), and a number of the sauces and vinaigrettes, especially the 5 spice mango stir fry sauce.
Another thing I question is the daily meal plans. They varied quite a bit on the calories per day from the low 500s to over 1200 calories per day. I question how healthy that is when the average recommended caloric intake for an adult woman is 1200-1500/day and more for the average adult male. I question how healthy or realistic it would be for an adult who is not seeking to actively lose weight, and is working, raising family, etc would be able to maintain their energy level and ability to concentrate on a diet that is 500, 600, or 700 calories a day.
So some interesting recipes that catch my eye, and I will try, but not a food bible I would use to direct my daily nutrition.
3 stars out of 5
